7 Ways to Celebrate Hunger Action Month
Unique Ways to Support LUM Food Programs
| Donate | Needed Items | Host a Collection Drive | Volunteer |
September is Hunger Action Month, an initiative that highlights the reality of food insecurity while giving everyone the chance to take action to fight against hunger. The LUM Food Pantry needs your support this fall & winter. Here are SEVEN 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.
- VOLUNTEER – Join the dedicated team at the LUM Protein Food Pantry each Monday afternoon & Thursday afternoon to set up and assist shoppers.
- 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.
- 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.
- 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.
- HUNGER HIKE – Donate to Hunger Hike 2024 and help reach the goal. See the article above for more information or click HERE.
- 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.
