September 2026 Community Partner Spotlight: The River Church Durham 🧡 Partnership is so much more than sharing space—it’s showing up, opening doors, investing in community, and believing in the work.

This month, we’re celebrating The River Church Durham, whose generosity and partnership have made so many EBB moments possible. From providing EBB with office and event space, to hosting our Community Distributions, welcoming our families for gatherings and celebrations, providing volunteers and weekly community dinners, and investing unrestricted dollars into our work. The River continues to show up for EBB in BIG ways. Because of their generosity, we’ve been able to gather our families in beautiful spaces, host events without the burden of venue costs, distribute resources, build community, and create memories together. And as these photos show, a whole lot of life has happened within these walls. 🧡 We are especially grateful to Bishop Ronald Godbee and Pastor Karla Godbee for their leadership, generosity, and continued belief in EBB and the families we serve. The River calls itself “the city’s church,” and we’re grateful to experience what that commitment to community looks like firsthand. Thank you, The River Church Durham, for being part of the EBB village. 🧡 #CommunityPartnerSpotlight #EquityBeforeBirth #TheRiverChurchDurham #CommunityPartnership #BlackPhilanthropy #MaternalHealth #DurhamNC
