Durham Alliance Outreach is excited to announce our spring online 50/50 fundraiser! - Grab your tickets now!

Durham Alliance Outreach (DAO) exists to help members of our community by providing workshops and lectures on life skills, such as self-esteem, confidence and communication, to the general public, especially the 2SLGBTQ+ individuals of the Durham Region. We also provide peer support groups for youth and adults in Durham Region who identify as 2SLGBTQ+. We provide techniques in coping, self-advocacy, and awareness of issues unique to this community.

We are exceptionally proud to offer our community access to a weekly food bank called “DAO Pantry” This program was created due to the growing disparity of food insecurity in the 2SLGBTQ+ community. Unfortunately, our community still suffers from discrimination from traditional food banks and institutions that do not agree with our lifestyle.

We provide those in need regardless of their gender or gender expression access to food, toiletries and other essential items. Our program was launched on September 10th, 2021 and has continued to support over 80-90 families per week. We have currently exceeded our current capabilities and are looking to expand our current location to facilitate our clients better and modernize our logistical and operational supports.

Our goal for DAO Pantry is to serve more people in need by increasing the accessibility of food assistance for 2SLGBTQ+ & community allies.

We are looking for your support to help us expand our reach & facility to accommodate higher-than-expected demands.

Your support will allow us to continue our hard work and help more people in Durham Region. Funds raised by this raffle will support those in need.

The winner will be contacted to claim their prize.

Thank you for your support!
