Snack Attack: Top Picks for Student Treats!
LUM Summer Youth Programs Need Snacks!
LUM relies on the generosity of donors to sustain the LUM 5th Quarter Summer Learning Program, which serve as crucial resources for the educational and nutritional needs of children in our community. Among the most valued donations are healthy snacks, providing essential nourishment to support the students’ growth and learning. Fresh fruit, yogurt cups, and granola bars are just a few examples of items that help fuel young minds and bodies during summer sessions.
In addition to snacks, donations of cleaning supplies and basic necessities like toilet paper and disinfectant wipes are welcome as well. Whether you choose to contribute healthy snacks, cleaning supplies, or other needed items, your generosity helps create a nurturing and supportive environment where children can thrive academically and socially. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of the students and families served by the LUM After School Program.
