EXTENDED TO NOV. 30! DCI Fundraiser for the Lincoln Community Health Center
By: Julie Poucher Harbin, Senior Writer, DCI
The COVID-19 pandemic has created many challenges in all of our lives and has placed a disproportionate burden on our area's historically underserved populations. As a result many people have postponed medical care, including routine appointments and recommended cancer screenings.
The DCI 2nd Annual Lincoln Community Health Center (LCHC) fundraising event provides our community with access to needed care. LCHC is a preventive and primary health care facility serving the Durham community since September 1971.
All donated funds will go directly to LCHC to help support cancer screenings and other medical needs. Last year we raised over $3,000 and our goal is to exceed last year's total by raising $5,000.
