Honoring & Celebrating Our Dedicated LUM Staff
Honoring a Year of Service and Saying Thank You to Lafayette Brewing Company for Years of Support
Earlier this week, Lafayette Urban Ministry staff came together for the annual LUM Staff Appreciation Lunch, a time set aside to recognize and celebrate the remarkable work accomplished throughout 2025. The gathering served as a meaningful reminder that LUM’s impact is made possible by the commitment, professionalism, and compassion of its staff.
Each member of the LUM team plays a vital role in advancing our mission and serving the community with care and excellence. This occasion provided an opportunity to express our sincere gratitude for the dedication, long hours, and heart our staff bring to their work every day.
The luncheon also marked a special moment as we gathered one final time at Lafayette Brewing Company. Over the years, LBC has been a generous and valued partner, hosting staff dinners, concerts, fundraisers, and other special events. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Nancy and Greg for their hospitality, support, and friendship, and we wish them nothing but the very best in the years ahead.
We are deeply grateful to the entire LUM staff for all that you do. Your dedication makes a lasting difference in the lives of others and strengthens our community in countless ways.
