Event Description

January 18, 2021 will mark Relias 3rd annual Martin Luther King, Jr Day of Service, a “day on, not day off” for our company. In selecting a charity to support this year, we wanted to combine our Corporate Social Responsibility mission of “Access to Healthcare, Access to Society” with Dr. King’s vision and legacy. We are proud to announce that we have chosen to support Urban Ministries of Durham, a local shelter, food pantry, and café serving those in need in the Durham area.

Urban Ministries of Durham welcomes more than 6,000 people each year who come seeking food, shelter, clothing and supportive services. UMD is the point of entry, triage and emergency services in the Durham Homelessness Continuum of Care Network.  Their programs are designed to:

  • Help prevent homelessness by providing food and clothing to offset living expenses and by referring guests to others in the community who may be able to provide additional help
  • Assist those who are homeless by providing emergency shelter, stabilization assistance such as recovery programs and medical referrals
  • Assist those who are homeless by providing emergency shelter, stabilization assistance such as recovery programs and medical referrals, and to help them connect with the resources that will enable them to return to stable housing as quickly as possible
  • Foster collaboration with community partners so that coordinated efforts can provide needed longer-term housing and supportive service needs
  • Offer support with dignity and compassion to neighbors in need, regardless of their ability to leave homelessness at the time.

UMD seeks to support all members of its community regardless of race, color, national origin, religion, disability, age, or sexual orientation, with core values of respect, collaboration, and accountability.

This year’s Day of Service activities are more accessible and convenient than ever. Through our RunSignUp page, you can run, walk, bike, drive, or hoverboard your favorite route for the 5k over three days – Jan 16-18. Your entry fee and any funds you raise for your “race” will go to Urban Ministries. Every individual who enters will receive a special edition Relias 5k t-shirt, and everyone who raises $100 or more will receive a special MLK Day Virtual 5k medal. The 3 individuals who raise the most will also be recognized on our Intranet homepage.

*This event is for U.S. based, Relias employees only.
