Be a part of LUM Summer of Service. Summer is an especially good time to get involved in something worthwhile — like Lafayette Urban Ministry — because the needs are great and the opportunities are exciting. LUM SOS gives you the chance to make a positive difference in your community, meet an immediate need, and see the impact of your efforts. Starting this month LUM has several exciting opportunities to serve those less fortunate.

Volunteers are needed for the LUM food pantries, homeless shelter, and youth programs including the full-day child care program and summer camp, as well as buildings & grounds projects.

So, follow your passion, find something that excites you and convince a friend or two to join you. Make this your “LUM Summer of Service.” Below are examples of how to get engaged with LUM today. For more information, go to LUMserve.org/volunteer; or email or call Terri Anderson, the LUM volunteer coordinator (volunteer@LUMserve.org | 765-423-2691).

There are LUM volunteer opportunities that fit every schedule. Some require training, but most just a willing heart and a helping hand.
