At LUM, we’re on a mission to serve our community, and we know that starts with taking care of our team. That’s why we’re looking for a Chief of Human Resources who gets it.

This isn’t just about handbooks and compliance (though, yes, that matters too). This is about shaping a workplace where people actually want to work. Where employees feel valued, heard, and excited to come in every day.

If you are a mission-driven professional ready to make a tangible difference in the community and employees life, apply at www.indeed.com/job/chief-human-resources-officer-2ffdc24217b2b749

LUM Food Programs rescued 8,532 pounds of food last month, helping ensure good food reaches our neighbors instead of going to waste.

This rescued food supports the LUM Food Pantry and Shelter, providing nutritious food to individuals and families in our community.

We couldn’t do it without the businesses that donate food and the volunteers who pick it up. Your partnership makes this possible!

Improving accessibility at LUM

We’re very pleased with the new concrete work at LUM, which provides a safer and more accessible exit area for our guests with mobility challenges.

Donations of new, unopened underwear can make a meaningful difference for neighbors facing difficult circumstances. We are specifically in need of small and medium sizes.

These everyday essentials are often overlooked but are always needed. Every donation helps provide comfort, dignity, and support to our neighbors.

Thank you for helping meet a basic need in our community!

Donations can be dropped off at LUM during regular business hours or you can check our our wish list at https://conta.cc/4c69EMg.

We’re making strides toward our $110,000 Hunger Hike goal and have already reached 21% of the journey!

But there is still plenty of trail ahead, and everyone in our community can participate. You do not have to climb the whole mountain alone. If we each do a little, together we can make a huge difference for people facing hunger locally, regionally, and globally.

Start a team. Join a team. Support a team. Share the journey. Go to hungerhike.org

Every step, every donation, and every hiker helps move us closer to the finish line. Let’s keep trekking forward, one step at a time!

We need your help breaking down language barriers at the LUM Food Pantry!

We are looking for volunteer translators who can help our neighbors communicate with pantry staff and access the food and resources they need. If you speak another language and would like to make a difference, your skills can help create a more welcoming experience for families in our community.
