LUM Summer of Service – Jump In
Ready to make this the summer you’ll never forget?
Jump into the LUM Summer of Service — where your time turns into impact and your efforts help shape a stronger community. Whether you’re into food, fun, kids, or care, LUM has a spot just for you!
From stocking shelves at the LUM food pantry to hanging out with awesome kids in LUM youth programs, serving meals at the emergency shelter, or even being a rockstar counselor at LUM Camp — there’s something for everyone. Bonus: you’ll feel great doing it.
Got a friend who’s always up for a good cause?
Bring them along! The more, the merrier. LUM has all kinds of ways to get involved — including our Food Rescue Initiative and child care program — and LUM would love to have you on the team.
