Check Out the LUM Wish List of Needed Items
Sometimes the most meaningful way to support Lafayette Urban Ministry is with in-kind donations — the items LUM uses and needs the most to support our neighbors in need, like food pantry staples or youth program snacks. You can drop them off or ship directly via our Amazon Wish List. Want to make it fun? Host a Collection Drive and get creative—build Toilet Paper Towers or other playful displays before donating. Of course, cash gifts are always welcome too, helping LUM provide essential services and respond quickly to community needs.
