CTSFW’s annual Donation Day, sponsored by the CTSFW Seminary Guild, will be held Tuesday, October 13, 2026. Men and women from congregations, LWML groups, and the wider church are invited to bring donations to the Seminary's Food & Clothing Co-op, which provides food, clothing, household goods, and other necessities to CTSFW students and their families.
Donation Day has been a Seminary tradition for more than a century, beginning on the Springfield campus in the early 1900s. Generations of supporters have gathered donations and brought them to campus in support of Seminary families. This outpouring of support from individuals, congregations, and organizations allows the Co-op to continue providing for students and their families.
We encourage you to join us on October 13, whether you can remain for the entire morning or can only stop by to deliver your donations. Guests are invited to worship with the Seminary community, hear how congregations and LWML groups support the Seminary through the Co-op, and share lunch with students and visitors in the Dining Hall.
Those planning to attend the morning program or eat lunch with students should RSVP to Deaconess Katherine Rittner, Director of the Food & Clothing Co-op, and Cindy Powell, Seminary Guild President, by Monday, October 5.
