YOUR CHAPTER - WHAT WE DO

Chapters of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans are organized geographically and bring together members to help others and help their community. Through the Care Abounds in Communities program, Thrivent Financial provides funding to members like you who form community service teams to conduct fund-raising activities and/or hands-on service activities to help individuals, families and qualified not-for-profit organizations. Contact a member of our chapter leadership board as noted in this newsletter for assistance in getting started.

In 2011 Thrivent Financial for Lutherans provided the Warren Co. OH Chapter $9,860 to help people and families in Warren County that have a need. Examples include: Food Pantries in Warren Co., Children’s Christmas (clothing for indigent children), American Cancer Society, Interfaith Hospitality Network of Warren Co., MOPS, Deardoff Senior Center, Franklin/Springboro Crop Walk for Hunger and many others.

The leadership board gives preference to those projects that keep our funds in Warren County.
