Give the Gift of Warmth This Winter
Invest in the LUM Good Samaritan Fund

This week, LUM is reflecting on the bitter cold challenges our neighbors endure. Many local families are working hard every day, yet they are ineligible for the government’s Low-Income Energy Assistance Program.
Thankfully, however, through your generosity to the LUM Good Samaritan Fund, these families find some financial relief.
Give the Gift of Warmth This Winter to LUM
- 100% of Your Donation Supports Local Families: Every dollar helps with rent, utilities, and emergency needs.
- Direct Impact: Last year, LUM provided more than $118,000 to assist 1,169 families in avoiding eviction and keeping their homes running, ensuring lights stay on, homes remain warm, emergency assistance is available, and the community is empowered.
- Rising Housing Costs: Indiana rents have surged, increasing nearly 35% since 2019, leaving many low-income families vulnerable to losing their homes from unexpected expenses.
- Helping Real People: LUM supports our neighbors—local workers, church members, and school aides—providing a lifeline during tough times.
Your donations to the LUM Good Samaritan Fund become a beacon of warmth, brightening winter for families who might otherwise endure the season without proper heating and electricity. Consider making a donation to help LUM meet its mission of ensuring that no family faces winter without the basic necessity of warmth.
