LUM needs bagged To-Go Meals to provide nutritious food to those in need each weekday — especially when the LUM Cooling Station is open. The LUM To-Go Meal Program invites families, youth groups, churches, classrooms, and businesses to participate. To-Go Meals are available year-round at the LUM Office (420 N 4th Street, Lafayette, IN), Monday to Friday, 11 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. while supplies last.


Sign up to provide 40 bagged To-Go Meals. Each meal should include:

  • SANDWICH (e.g., PB&J, ham & cheese, tuna packs)
  • SNACKS (salty, sweet, and “later” snack)
  • FRUIT/vegetable (apple, orange, fruit cup)
  • DRINK(bottled water, Capri Sun)
  • UTENSILS, if needed
  • HOPE & CHEER – Feel free to decorate the bags with cheerful pictures, words or stickers to brighten someone’s day

This is a perfect way for families, youth groups, churches, classrooms, and businesses to get involved and make a difference. Your generosity ensures nutritious meals for those in need. Thank you for supporting your community through LUM!
