To support students who may be facing food insecurity, Luther Seminary operates a direct-order grocery process for the seminary community. Luther Seminary’s Grocery Assistance Program is a lifeline for students facing food insecurity. Started during the pandemic, this vital program continues to provide essential groceries to an average of 25 students each week. Through the program, students can request necessary food items that are then carefully processed, purchased, and delivered to campus by dedicated volunteers. This initiative helps students meet their nutritional needs and fosters a sense of community and support within the seminary. Your generous donation will ensure that this program can continue to make a real difference in the lives of Luther Seminary students. On the Grocery Assistance Program webpage, you can make a one-time or recurring gift to support this important ministry.

Beginning Friday, June 5 and ending September 5, summer hours as described in the staff handbook go into effect. Summer hours are designed to help employees create lengthened weekends by allowing them to work shortened lunch breaks equal to 30 minutes Monday through Friday to free up 2.5 hours on Friday afternoon. If you have any questions about how this applies to your specific department or schedule, please review the staff handbook and talk to your manager or reach out to the HR department.
