Turquoise Parker, an educator at Durham’s Lakewood Elementary, often thinks back to 2015 when a parent came to her right before the winter break. “The mom came to see me at school and asked if I knew of a place that she could get food and gifts for the kids while school was closed. She knew at that time that school was closed, there is no breakfast or lunch being served,” Parker said.

Parker later shared the story with her husband at home and the answer was clear. She gathered up food and a few other items to make this family’s Christmas a happy one.
