LUM Protein Food Pantry

The LUM Protein Food Pantry is open at the Ray Ewry Youth Center at 525 N. 4th Street. 

Open every Thursday from 10-11:30 A.M., this pantry focuses on the three P’s: 

  • protein, 
  • produce and 
  • paper goods.  

The pantry is staffed by volunteers and relies on donations of paper goods & select proteins to stock the shelves. The frozen meat products and produce will be purchased and delivered weekly from Food Finders Food Bank.

Food Finders Recruiting Volunteers

Food Finders needs about 235 volunteers a week to cover all the positions needed to keep things running smoothly. 

If you’d like to help low-income families shop for affordable food at the fresh market food bank in Market Square, please sign up here. This is a ministry supported by Holy Trinity Lutheran Church.
