Habitat for Humanity Mid-Yellowstone Valley is again partnering with Thrivent Financial for Lutherans in building House #52, the future home of Amanda Nelson and her children. About two thirds of the house will be constructed during MontanaFair, August 13 through 21, 2010. It will then be moved to its permanent location and completed.
Please see the press release below for more information about Thrivent's committment to Habitat for Humanity.
Thank you to ThriventBuilds with Habitat for Humanity for all the donations of funding and volunteer hours during this wonderful project.
| MINNEAPOLIS (Sept. 3, 2009) –Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and Habitat for Humanity International formed a four-year alliance in 2005 to join forces in positively affecting the lives of thousands of moms, dads and kids across the United States and around the world. On September 3 at the Thrivent Financial corporate headquarters in downtown Minneapolis, the impact of these two nonprofits working together will be highlighted and celebrated. So exactly what has been accomplished? • Thrivent Financial for Lutherans not only provided substantial funding for each home built through the alliance but also encouraged its members to volunteer hundreds of thousands of hours and raise additional funds to help build homes in the United States and around the world. • By the end of 2009, more than 1,300 homes will have been built in the United States through the Thrivent Builds Homes program and nearly 700 additional homes through the Thrivent Builds Worldwide program. Many participants who helped build these homes have described their volunteer experiences as “life-changing.” • This four-year $125 million alliance between Thrivent Financial and Habitat for Humanity International has been the largest funding and volunteer alliance in the history of either organization. • Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity, based in Minneapolis, is on track to complete the final 10 of 33 homes built in the last four years with the financial and volunteer support of the Thrivent Builds alliance. This unprecedented alliance was designed to help increase Habitat for Humanity’s ability to build more affordable housing and offer an important way for Thrivent Financial’s 2.6 million members to give back to their communities. Each of the four years of the alliance, Thrivent Builds has increased Habitat’s building efforts in the United States by nearly six percent. According to Jonathan Reckford, CEO of Habitat for Humanity International, this alliance has “helped deepen the impact of [Habitat’s] work.” |
