CTSFW Donation Day
Concordia Theological Seminary, Fort Wayne (CTSFW), invites you to join us at Donation Day on Tuesday, October 14, 2025, from 8:30 a.m.–1:00 p.m. For over 100 years, women from congregations near and far have blessed our students and their families by bringing food and clothing donations to the Seminary.
We invite you to spend a morning with us on campus. Drop off donations, worship with us, and get to know the students who will benefit from the generosity of the church.
We are also excited to talk with visitors about plans to build a new Food and Clothing Co-op with more space for displaying and browsing donated items, increased parking spaces next to the building, and a single level so parents don’t have to worry about taking strollers and young children up and down stairs.
"Donation Day is a great way to get to know the students and families who our amazing donors are caring for," said Deaconess Katherine Rittner, director of the Food and Clothing Co-op. "By joining students in worship and at lunch and hearing their stories, our Donation Day visitors can really put a face on their future pastors and deaconesses."
