The Dorcas Food Pantry is proud to continue our composting partnership with the Town of Cary’s Compost Education Center at Bond Park. Our produce waste is used to teach residents how to compost in their own backyards. The partnership supports the mission of the Town’s education center and Dorcas Ministries' goal of reducing its landfill impact. 🌎 #earthday

Congratulations to the Dorcas Biowork Cohort graduates! 👏🎓 From January to April 2024, in partnership with Wake Technical Community College, Dorcas Ministries was able to help support a cohort of students through their Biowork Process Technician Training. The students attended class twice a week at the Western Wake Campus in Cary and attended professional development trainings twice a month at Dorcas. The students have new skills to pursue a job at a biotechnology, pharmaceutical, or chemical manufacturing company. We are so proud of the Biowork Cohort's accomplishments and know they will go on to do great things!
