ONE Redeemer: Serving Our Salt Lake City Neighbors Through Our Annual Food Drive
At Redeemer Lutheran Church and School in Salt Lake City, we are preparing for our annual neighborhood food drive, and we warmly invite our church members, school families, and neighbors to participate. This special outreach brings students and adults together to help provide food for individuals and families experiencing hardship in our community. As ONE Redeemer, we are thankful for the opportunity to put our shared commitment to Christian service into action. Every donation and every helping hand is a meaningful expression of care for our neighbors.
ONE Redeemer: Christ Centered, Student Focused, Service Minded
Our school mission, “Christ Centered, Student Focused, Service Minded, ONE Redeemer,” shapes how we teach, learn, worship, and serve. Christian mercy is rooted in the love that our Savior Jesus Christ has first shown to us. Scripture reminds us that good works do not earn salvation, but flow from faith as we respond to God’s grace with gratitude. Through this annual food drive, our students will have an opportunity to practice kindness, responsibility, and service in their own Salt Lake City neighborhood.
Join Our Neighborhood Food Drive in Salt Lake City
Our students will begin by walking through the neighborhood to distribute informational notes about the food items needed by local food banks. Along the way, they will also share information about Redeemer Lutheran School and our commitment to Christian education. We welcome parents, congregation members, and friends who would like to accompany the students and help make this outreach successful. Walking together is a wonderful opportunity to build relationships while serving our neighbors.
Friday, November 6: Help Distribute Food Drive Information
We invite volunteers to join our students on Friday, November 6, 2026, from 8:30 to 11:30 a.m. as we deliver informational notes throughout the neighborhood. Volunteers will help students share the food drive details and explain how neighbors can contribute. This first step provides an opportunity for our school community to invite others into a shared effort of generosity. We are grateful for everyone willing to participate.
Tuesday, November 10: Help Collect Food Donations
On Tuesday, November 10, 2026, at 8:30 a.m., our students and volunteers will return to collect donated food items. These contributions will help support local food banks and their efforts to assist families facing food insecurity. Whether you can help distribute notes, collect food, or contribute a donation, your participation is appreciated. Together, small acts of kindness can make a meaningful difference.
Unable to Join Us? Food Donations Are Always Welcome
If you cannot participate on either scheduled date, you can still support our food drive by bringing food donations to Redeemer Lutheran Church and School. Contributions may be delivered to the church at your convenience during regular building access hours. We encourage families throughout Sugar House, Highland Park, Millcreek, and surrounding Salt Lake City neighborhoods to participate. Your generosity helps strengthen the spirit of service and compassion within our community.
Christian Education and Service at Redeemer Lutheran School
At Redeemer Lutheran Church (LCMS) and School, Christian education extends beyond classroom instruction into everyday opportunities to love and serve our neighbors. Our students learn that God calls Christians to serve others through the ordinary responsibilities of their daily vocations. As a private Christian school in Salt Lake City, we are grateful for the partnership between home, church, and school that makes this outreach possible. We warmly invite our neighbors to join us in supporting local food banks and sharing the blessings God has entrusted to us.
