It’s Not Too Late for a Summer to Remember!
Get Involved | Volunteer | Donate | Bring Joy
Jump into the LUM Summer of Service — where your time turns into real impact, and your energy helps build a stronger, more compassionate community. Whether you’re passionate about food, kids, care, or simply lending a hand where it’s needed most, LUM has a place for you this summer. Already this season, we’ve been inspired by generous acts of service from Federated Church, the Benjamin Franklin Transatlantic Fellows, and the Mandela Washington Fellows.
Also, Northview Church made a lasting impact by providing a generous $900 gift sending three local children to LUM Camp, preparing an Emergency Shelter meal (pictured left) & assembling & donating snack bags for the children in our LUM 5th Quarter Summer Learning Program (pictured right). Thank you, Northview Church!
And now—it’s your turn.
Whether you come on your own or bring a friend, you’ll make a real difference—and have fun doing it. It’s not too late to jump in, give back, and be part of something meaningful this summer. Let’s make this a summer of impact, joy, and community—together. Visit LUMserve.org/volunteer or reach out to the LUM volunteer coordinator, Terri Anderson, at volunteer@LUMserve.org or 765-423-2691.
