A Season to Give Thanks & Spread Joy | |
For more than 50 years, LUM has been dedicated to tackling basic human needs & uplifting the people of Greater Lafayette — and there's no time like the holidays to do just that. Thanksgiving brings together all things enjoyable: turkey, football, second helpings, and counting our blessings. At LUM, it’s also a time to share that gratitude with neighbors in need, especially during this challenging season. Check out the Thanksgiving Day festivities with LUM — Turkey Trot 5K Run & Community Thanksgiving Feast. | |
LUM is rolling out a feast to remember. More than 800 meals, complete with 75 turkeys, 112 pies, and all the trimmings — yams, mashed potatoes, stuffing, green bean casserole, rolls, cranberry sauce, and gravy will be served at the 38th annual LUM Community Thanksgiving Feast. Everyone is welcome; no reservations needed. Cash and food donations are gratefully accepted. For more details on how to donate, click the button below. | |  |

LUM Homeless Services - Cheers to 40 Years | |

LUM invites you to the 40th Anniversary of LUM Homeless Services. This special event marks four decades of dedication to providing shelter, support, and life-changing assistance to individuals experiencing homelessness in Greater Lafayette.
Here are the details:
-
DATE/TIME – Wednesday, November 20, at 6:30 p.m.

LOCATION – LUM Ray Ewry Center, 525 N 4th Street, Lafayette, IN

Since 1984, when LUM opened Lafayette’s first emergency shelter, the shelter team has led efforts to assist those experiencing homelessness. From a small site on 8th Street to the Ray Ewry Center built in 1995, LUM has continually expanded services to meet the community’s needs.
