Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation Day : A Celebration of Community Service

On December 7, 2024, the City of Durham, will unite to celebrate an extraordinary milestone: The Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation Day of Service. This Day officially proclaimed by the Mayor of Durham, Leonardo Williams, honors the tireless efforts of our foundation to uplift our community through acts of service and compassion.

For years the Misstakenid Gives Back Foundation, lead by founder Akeeya Umstead, has worked to create impactful programs that address pressing community needs from feeding the hungry, to providing resources to unhoused neighbors, families, and giving support to seniors and veterans. Now this special proclamation not only recognizes the work that we have done but also inspires us to go even further.

On this monumental day, we will have community members to join us in giving back. Activities will include:

Making and distributing 500 sandwiches for a local homeless shelter.

Creating care packages for families at a local family shelter.

Preparing supply packages with toiletries, snacks and warmth for unhoused neighbors.

Preparing special gift bags for seniors and veterans in Roxboro, NC.

Packaging special items from the needs list for the Veteran’s Administration Hospital Hospice and Veteran’s Pantry

This Day of Service reflects our collective commitment to building a stronger, more supportive community. We believe that when we come together, we can create real change and inspire others to embrace the power of giving.

Let’s make December 7, 2024, a day to remember. Mark you calendar, join the movement, and help us celebrate this incredible honor!

Together, we serve. Together we thrive.

The event will take place at I.R. Holmes Sr. Recreation Center at Campus Hills December, 7, 2024, starting at 10:00 am, volunteer slots have been filled.

september 18, 2021 “cookout”

We were able to have our very first collaboration with a Corporate Volunteer Group from The Holt Team of New American Funding. They were a great group to work with.

Our Menu consisted of a “cookout style” meal. We made 1/4 hamburgers and hotdogs, we had salad, chips, dessert items, water, and soft drinks.

We made 100 plates and were able to give them out to the homeless/hungry population.

The Holt team also provided 75 toiletry bags to give out during lunch.
