DURHAM, N.C., Oct. 4, 2018 /PRNewswire/ -- The Law Offices of James Scott Farrin recently donated urgently needed items to the Urban Ministries of Durham (UMD) through employee donations and payroll deductions.

The law firm's President's Team coordinated the effort, which yielded 24 large garbage bags of fall clothing, 130 personal hygiene items, 115 pairs of socks and underwear, 72 cans of soup, and 172 pounds of dried beans.

President's Team members contributed their time at Urban Ministries to sort household items and clothing for the ministries' Clothing Closet, measure dried beans for their Food Pantry, organize and process school supply donations, and prepare folders to be reused by case managers.

UMD works to end homelessness and meet emergency needs of poor and hungry neighbors. With the help of approximately 4,000 volunteers, it connects more than 6,000 people annually to food, shelter and a future.

In the past, James Scott Farrin's Social Service Committee has purchased food and supplies, while dozens of employees have used their lunch hours to help prepare sandwiches, decorate bags with inspirational sayings, and assemble meals.
