Here are SIX WAYS YOU can help LUM while celebrating Hunger Action Month.
- DONATIONS – Monetary donations are ideal because the money will be used where it is needed the most.
- GIVING GARDENERS – The LUM Food Pantry welcomes donations from “Giving Gardeners” who have “grown a row” for LUM or simply wish to donate from their garden.
- HOST A DRIVE – Coordinate a “drive” for the LUM Food Pantry at your church, organization, or business — or at your next event like a birthday or company social. Check the LUM Wish List and keep it simple.
- HUNGER HIKE – Participate in Hunger Hike on Sunday, September 22 and raise funds for food programs locally, regionally & globally.
- FOOD RESCUE – LUM needs volunteers to “rescue” food from local restaurants, bakeries & grocery stores. Please help us save, gather, and share food with our neighbors in need. It’s a win-win-win – RESCUE food, SHARE food & REDUCE food waste.
- NEEDED ITEMS – Families need paper products, cleaning supplies, infant products, and personal hygiene items. Purchase needed items and drop items off or shop online and ship them. Go to Amazon.com, shop from the LUM Wish List, order & ship to LUM.
