Creekside Cares. Who are we?

Picture
We are a Creekside at Bethpage service club and North Carolina Nonprofit. Membership is open to ALL Creekside residents. We were founded in 2018 by Lori College. Our first projects were a school supply drive and a Veterans Day event to honor our Creekside veterans. We have been serving our community with heart ever since. 


Our current/future and past community service projects for our Creekside and the greater Durham area include:
  • Creekside Veterans Day event
  • Inter-Faith Food Shuttle monthly box packing
  • ​Holiday Zone for Durham Children's Initiative
  • Mask sewing and donation during Covid-19

AWARDS

  • In 2019, Creekside Cares and Lori College received a SPARK Initiative Award from the Durham Public School Board for our work with W.G. Pearson Elementary. We were selected as SPARK Advocates or influencers who work outside of DPS to develop community partnerships, increase engagement and support for DPS, and improve student outcomes. 

  • In 2020 Creekside Cares received the Governor's Volunteer Service Award in Durham County in the Group Division. Lori College picked up the award at a drive through ceremony in October 2020.

  • Lori also was awarded the prestigious Medallion Award for the entire county. The Medallion Award is presented to the top 20 volunteers in the State of North Carolina at the Governor's discretion.

We love making a difference in our community while celebrating the diversity, experience and history of our neighbors. We are not afraid to dream big and set bold goals.
