DURHAM, N.C. (WTVD) A line of cars with dozens of people inside lined up before 10 a.m. on Saturday, on the stretch of Belvin Avenue that leads to the Greater Walltown United Holy Church in Durham. That s where they received free food, including turkeys, and COVID-19 testing. It does our heart good to see that, said the Reverend Timothy Moore, pastor of the church. Because that s what church is supposed to be about anyway. Ministry goes beyond the walls and we have to do our part to help out the community.
Those inside the cars that filled the church parking lot responded to the church s partnership with North Carolina Central University. It is one in a series of clinics designed to engage underserved communities of color in nine North Carolina counties where testing and other health care services are not easily available.
