Food Rescuers – Volunteer

LUM needs volunteers to “rescue” food from local restaurants, bakeries & grocery stores. LUM currently is partnering with Great Harvest Bread Co., Panera Bread, Starbucks, Fresh Thyme, Pay Less Super Market, and Target to accept regular donations of their surplus food items. These items have been amazing additions to the LUM shelter, youth programs, and food pantry.
