Our Community Partners

At HTLC, we are deeply involved with our community. Some of our partners include:

  • Food Finders

Food Finders

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 HTLC.

LUM Protein Food Pantry

The Lafayette Urban Ministry (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.

Volunteer!

Volunteers are urgently needed. You can sign up on-line, following the link to Volunteer, then to Volunteer Sign Up Sheets. Or you can contact LUM by phone at 765-423-2691 or by email.  

Donate!

Donations of paper goods and shelf-stable proteins are also needed. Storage space is limited, so donations of only those items will be accepted.  

 These include:

  • toilet paper, 
  • paper towels, 
  • paper napkins, 
  • feminine hygiene products,
  • diapers,
  • peanut butter, 
  • dried beans & lentils,
