Happy New Year from LMM!


Join us for this edition of the LMM Year in Review as we reflect on ways the agency fulfilled its mission to empower, value and heal individuals who are oppressed, forgotten and hurting throughout 2023.

Metro45 Café & Catering

We’re proud of the year Metro45 Café & Catering has had offering students work experience, job readiness, and food education, while creating revenue to help fund LMM’s Workforce Development program. With appearances at the Forbes Under 30 Summit, Taste of the Browns, and more, Metro45 has been making a positive impact on the lives of many.
