Durham - get ready to Dine Out for Kids on March 24. Simply go out to eat at a participating restaurant and help make a difference in the life of a child.

Your patronage on March 24 will enable Durham's most vulnerable children to stay in school and have a hope for a brighter future.
See our list of participating restaurants who will donate a portion of their sales on Tuesday, March 24 to Communities in Schools of Durham.

To donate or volunteer, contact Elizabeth Levene at elizabeth@cisdurham.org

Bayer CropScience Backpack Program Helps Kids Learn

"Children can't learn well when they're hungry. We can tell when they come to school and they haven't eaten. They're not motivated, their energy level is low, they might even be angry. When they have eaten, they're happy, motivated - they almost skip on their way to class. So we say: Thank you, on behalf of the students at Eastway Elementary School, for providing food so our kids can keep on learning."

- Eastway Elementary School Principal Star Sampson, September 2007
