Speaking of volunteering, the Volunteer Center of Durham has moved from the old Herald-Sun building to the old Liggett & Myers office building at Fuller and Main streets. (In the new section of West Village.)

And for the time being, the center can't handle walk-in would-be volunteers, thanks to the building's security system. Interested parties should get up with Corinne Everett at 613-5105 or corinne@thevolunteercenter.org to talk about service opportunities.

To talk about the Back to School Supply Drive, Thanksgiving Dinners, Share Your Christmas, and Durham County Social Services programs, contact Tasha Melvin at 613-5101 or tasha@thevolunteercenter.org

To talk general business, call 613-5109.

The Volunteer Center of Durham and Durham Social Services are looking for Durham residents to provide Thanksgiving food, cooked or un-, for needy families.

Thanksgiving "sponsors" donated meals to more than 500 families in 2007, according to the Volunteer Center, which expects increased demand this year due to "the difficult economic situation."

Sponsors buy a holiday meal for about $15 per person and deliver it in person to the family. Cash donations are also welcomed.

If interested, call Tasha Melvin at 688-8977 ext. 435.
