LUM
receives most of its financial support from individual
gifts, member church contributions, and donations from
church and civic groups and businesses. Gifts
or pledges may be designated to any of LUM's programs
or contributed for the general support of the ministry.
Following
is information about the many different ways and options
for giving.

| Jesus
said "Come to me, all you who are weary and
burdened, and I will give you rest." Here at
the Lafayette Urban Ministry we take those words
seriously. We know that offering homeless people
food and shelter and lightening their loads is the
first step to helping them build better lives. But
we also know it's only a first step. That's why
LUM offers 23 innovative programs of service, self-help,
and social justice advocacy. But the kind of help
provided by LUM doesn't happen automatically, and
it won't happen without your support. We hope you'll
help this important work to continue by giving generously.
Please consider the various giving options and find
the one that best fits you. Your gifts will help
make a difference for the men, women, children and
families served by LUM.

PLEDGE
You
may want to consider making your donation in several payments
over the course of the year. You may make your payments
monthly, quarterly, semi-annually, or some other schedule
that fits your needs. This contribution method is considered
part of our "Annual Fund" drive. If you would
like to use the current Annual Fund pledge form, click
on the link at the right. This will allow you to download
and print the form in PDF format. |
PRE-AUTHORIZED
MONTHLY PAYMENTS
Pre-authorized
monthly payments (PAMP) directly from your checking account
to LUM are also available. Many donors have found this
to be an easy and convenient way to contribute to LUM's
work. To make arrangements for PAMP, call LUM and ask
for the Business Manager, or click on the link at right,
which will allow you to download and print out the PAMP
form in PDF format. |
