Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity |
Thrivent Builds is a new alliance between Habitat for Humanity and Thrivent Financial. In this alliance, Thrivent Financial will be sponsoring 65% of the cost of each home and looking to the Lutheran community and the local Habitat Affiliate to raise the additional 35% of funds needed to complete each home. In addition to the need for funds, volunteers are needed to fill a variety of roles.
If you have an interest in volunteering in any capacity, click here to complete a volunteer sign up for your area.
