| Laurens-Spartanburg County Chapter, Thrivent Builds Homes Announcement |
| We’re building on our commitment. $20 million added to Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity. |
We’re celebrating good news! Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has increased its commitment to its alliance with Habitat for Humanity by $20 million, bringing its total commitment to $125 million.
Thrivent Financial budgeted $125 million at the beginning of the alliance and allocated $105 with a plan to add the remaining amount if Thrivent Builds proved successful. Based on member response and results to date, the final $20 million is now being committed. The increased support comes at the midpoint of the alliance with Habitat.
In the past two years, more than 650 homes have been built with families in need of simple, decent, affordable housing thanks to Thrivent Financial members, Lutherans and other volunteers. That’s 650 families who have the increased financial security that comes from homeownership.
300+ FAMILIES WILL BE HELPED THIS YEAR. YOU CAN PLAY A PART!
So many American families struggle with even basic needs. Food. Electricity. A safe place to live. Some of these are families here in our community. You can help change that.
Help us build homes and strengthen families—including one in our community. To join us, call Troy Slice at (864) 587-9934 or visit www.thriventbuilds.com.
You and other members of our chapter will work side-by-side with families to build their homes. No experience is necessary. All you need is a willing heart.
Watch your [church bulletin, mail, etc.] throughout the year for information on how you can help with a Thrivent Builds homebuilding project.
Help us build better lives. And a better community.
