Portable Sinks Donated to LUM Shelter
Local Family Donates Much Needed Equipment
Deb & Tom Parent recently purchased to two portable sinks for Lafayette Urban Ministry. The portable sinks will be used by individuals signing up for and checking into the LUM Emergency Shelter, who will be required to wash their hands before entering. During the COVID-19 threat, the sinks will be placed outside of LUM Emergency Shelter & Office.
Thank you to the Parent Family for their generous gift.
