LUM Summer of Service – Find Your Fit
LUM Opportunities Galore – Camp, Pantry, Shelter
Hey, want to make this summer count? Get ready for your LUM Summer of Service! LUM is looking for volunteers to lend a hand with everything from food pantries to youth programs, emergency shelter, and more.
Joining the LUM Summer of Service means you get to make a real difference in your community, tackling immediate needs and seeing the impact of your efforts firsthand. So, what are you waiting for? Find something that sparks your interest and maybe even convince a friend or two to join you.
LUM has opportunities galore — whether it’s helping out at the shelter, providing meals, assisting with food pantries, pitching in at the child care program, or being a counselor at LUM Camp. Plus, we’re on the lookout for folks to join our Food Rescue Initiative.
