Here are 8 Ways You Can Stand Against Hunger
- WEAR ORANGE – Celebrate Hunger Action Month and raise awareness by wearing orange throughout September.

- GIVING GARDENERS – Share your garden harvest or grow a row for LUM families.
- HUNGER HIKE – Form a team, support a team or hiker, or donate. For more information or click HERE.
- HOST A DRIVE – Rally your church, workplace, or special events to collect pantry items. Check the LUM Wish List and keep it simple.
- NEEDED ITEMS – Families urgently need dish soap, shampoo, deodorant, toilet paper, cleaning supplies, infant care, and hygiene items. Check out the LUM Wish List. Drop off or ship from the Amazon.com Wish List.
- VOLUNTEER – Serve shoppers at the LUM Protein Food Pantry on Mondays & Thursdays.
- DONATIONS – Monetary donations are ideal. Every dollar goes where it’s needed most.
The need is urgent. The time is now. Stand up. Step in. Stand against hunger.
