| Care Abounds in Communities® Program Funds Still Available |
If you hear of a person or an organization in your community requiring financial or hands-on assistance, please help organize an activity or let the chapter board know of the need. Through Care Abounds in Communities®, anyone in our chapter can organize a community service team and help others. It doesn't take a lot of time or a long-term commitment! Contact any chapter leader for information on applying for supplemental funds for your activity. The Iowa County Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has approved supplemental funds for 10 fundraisers/hands-on service activities so far this year. With nine of the ten activities completed and reported, over $24,000.00 has already been disbursed to the individuals and organizations. At this time there still is $4,514 in supplemental funds available through the chapter for Care Abounds in Communities® activities.
