The LUM Impact So Far This Year
LUM – Tackling Basic Human Needs in 2021
Lafayette Urban Ministry is happy to report that 2,106 unique individuals and low-income households were assisted so far in 2021. All throughout the pandemic, LUM has nurtured and educated children, sheltered families, fed the hungry, supported the legal immigrant, and helped our neighbors experiencing homelessness become more self-sufficient.
Thanks to your love and generous support, LUM continues to make Greater Lafayette a better place for all of its citizens.
Please remember LUM through the remainder of 2021 by participating in one of our upcoming events, volunteering, and/or by giving a financial gift! Go to LUMserve.org.
