LUTHERAN TOWERS

Lutheran Towers is a nonprofit senior community providing more than just housing.  The staff and administration deliver holistic, person-centered supportive services, innovative recreational activities, and several feeding programs designed to combat food insecurity, a growing issue among seniors.

Our mission statement says it all: Lutheran Towers provides safe, quality, and affordable independent living, within a caring community for low-income seniors, with evidence-based supportive services that allow them to thrive as they age. 

Because of their extremely low retirement incomes, our residents are both at risk of homelessness and are food insecure, so their available funds for food run out each month before the month’s end. 98% of our residents are food insecure. 

In 2018, this finding led Lutheran Towers to establish a free feeding program, in collaboration with the USDA, on-site for our residents. 

We are the first senior housing program to establish free feeding programs for our residents.

In 2019, with the support of community partners, Lutheran Towers expanded our resident free feeding programs to include a food pantry to better meet their needs. That year, we disseminated 21,000 pounds of free food to our residents. For the first time in Lutheran Towers' history, we disseminated approximately 145,000 pounds of free food to our residents in 2020-2021.

In January 2022, Lutheran Towers launched the first of its kind in the nation within a HUD-subsidized senior independent living community, a no-charge grocery store exclusively for our residents. Lutheran Towers no charge grocery store offers consumable and non-consumable items to our residents.  This store allows Lutheran Towers to notably grow our capacity to disseminate free food and other items. To sustain the store, Lutheran Towers secures grants and donations from individuals and churches.

We are blessed to have provided a home for close to 5,000 residents of diverse backgrounds and faiths over the past 50 years. Your investments in the lives of these residents will continue to help provide free feeding programs, health and wellness programs, and other activities for our residents.

We appreciate all who support our mission to help our residents thrive. To learn more about Lutheran Towers, please visit our website at www.lutherantowers.org
