Join us for a day. Stay in a family's heart forever. Since 2005, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans, through its alliance with Habitat for Humanity, has given more than 1,000 families the opportunity to build and own a decent, affordable home. In the process, strong bonds of friendship have been built … and lives changed. Thanks to Thrivent Financial members, and other Lutherans and volunteers, those 1,000 families have the increased financial security that comes from affordable homeownership. The impact doesn’t end there. 314 FAMILIES WILL BE HELPED IN 2009, INCLUDING [enter number of families] [FAMILY or FAMILIES] IN OUR COMMUNITY!
