It is with deep sadness that we share the passing of our long-time, former executive director, Susie Deter. Susie was a fierce leader and mental health advocate for Threshold for over 18 years until her retirement in 2015. She will be dearly missed by our members and staff.

Threshold staff and members enjoyed participating in Durham's Crop Hunger Walk 2022 on Sunday, April 10! The Walk raised over $100,000 for hunger-fighting efforts in the Durham community.

We are so grateful to Jewish for Good, who mulched and planted 200 tulip and flower bulbs around the perimeter of our Clubhouse on Christmas Eve.

You can learn more about Jewish for Good and their services here, https://www.jewishforgood.org/about.

This year we have been fortunate enough to prepare more than 60 Christmas gifts for our members! We will be distributing these gifts at the Clubhouse as well as delivering to those who cannot come in-person.

Threshold and its members sincerely thank Triangle Ecycling and staff for making a truly impactful donation of 12 desktop computers, equipped with Windows 10 software, in addition to delivering and installing them!

Since Threshold’s reopening members have enjoyed returning to the kitchen where they are an active part of cooking, preparing, and serving the daily meals.

Threshold has officially reopened with a limited capacity. We have infused on-site and virtual programing Monday-Thursday 8:30am - 12:00pm. We have made a rotating schedule for members, so everybody can have a chance to join the in-person fun.

Threshold will be featuring a blogging section to showcase our members and their creative abilities. Through journaling, and art they have found was to express themselves, manage stress and reflect.

We look forward to sharing this experience with our Threshold friends and supporters.

Threshold once again, sincerely thanks the Jenny Lillian Semans Koortbojian Trust! Their grant has provided Threshold with funding to purchase 40 new sturdy vinyl chairs, that are comfortable, safe, and hygienic for members in addition to the flooring previously installed.

Threshold wants to thank the MIztvah group who supported threshold by volunteering in our gardens during the holidays!!!

Threshold elves were hard at work last week delivering gifts and spreading joy! The members enjoyed a zoom hosted party as well as the opportunity to enjoy the holidays with each other. Holiday dinner will be delivered Thursday the 24th, and a zoom hosted, movie and hot coco party will take place on Friday the 25th.

Santa’s helpers, The Threshold Elves, were hard at work to make sure all members have an opportunity to experience the joy of Christmas. The Threshold elves will be delivering presents, as well as providing decoration ideas. All made possible by Threshold supporters!

With deepest thanks from a gift from the Jenny Lillian Semans Koortbojian Trust, Threshold has been able to purchase a new server and develop our technology infrastructure so that staff are able to successfully engage with members from remote locations during the pandemic. In addition, this generous gift has also funded new flooring for three of our office spaces. In addition to enhancing the beauty of our building, these floors replace old carpeting and increase our ability to keep our building clean and safe for all members.
