Ham-A-Palooza
Sponsored by:LCCU

LCCU is excited to launch our holiday ham drive to help less fortunate families right here in their communities. Since 2014, we have donated nearly 4,000 hams to local families in need.
Thanks to the overwhelming support of community members like you, our program has been incredibly successful. LCCU partners with local food banks who distribute the hams to 700 families each year. Recently, however, you have probably noticed the rise of hunger in our community. That’s where you come in! LCCU is asking you to donate to the Ham-a-Palooza campaign. By donating, you will be able to help make this holiday season a little brighter (and yummier!) for local families! This year the goal is to raise as much money as possible. Please help reach the full LCCU matching amount of $4,000. The more we raise, the more families, together, we are able to feed.
