Programs Jubilee Christmas
 

Jubilee volunteers

LUM Jubilee Christmas is our community's largest Christmas assistance program. One Saturday each December, LUM member churches become Jubilee Toy Shops where low-income parents can select new toys, clothing, and gift certificates for their children. Jubilee spreads the joy of the season in a way that supports the strength of the family unit and the dignity of parents. Jubilee serves over 600 families and over 1600 children. Monetary contributions as well as donations of new toys and clothing, plus the help of over 1,000 volunteers make the annual Jubilee Christmas possible.

Information about the 2008 Jubilee Christmas:

DATE: Saturday, December 13, 2008
