The Southern Tier Chapter has approved funding for various projects or hands-on service activities in 2011. These fund-raising activities should provide some insight into the type of activities we are supporting within our local Chapter.Care Abounds in Communities® program activities can include fund-raisers and hands-on service activities. Following are examples of both.
--A hands-on service activity involves volunteer labor to assemble, develop or improve something for an identified recipient.
Thrivent Financial provides financial assistance to purchase necessary materials used in an activity in which the service team members provide the volunteer support (labor).
For example, a service team could request funds to purchase materials to construct handicap accessible facilities, community beautification project etc.
Hands-on service funds should not be used for education or recognition events, supplies at fund-raising activities, or for
payment of professional or contracted services by vendors.
--A fund-raising activity is an activity conducted to generate funds.
For example, a service team could conduct a community festival or benefit dinner to raise funds for the local food warehouse, community support programs, disaster programs etc.
