Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is building on their commitment in the Thrivent Builds! Habitat of Monroe County        
awarded a grant to build two more homes.        

Habitat of Monroe County will be able to build two additional houses thanks to a grant from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans for $162,306 and their Monroe Chapter with Lutheran Churches to raise matching monies of $24,970.

This is the fourth year that Thrivent Financial has helped Habitat locally with grants for two houses each year. Their members have also been successful in raising the match funding for the past two years and providing enough volunteers to build the homes. Habitat Board, staff, and families are very much appreciative and thankful for all their past assistance and continued commitment for 2008 building.  

Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is a nonprofit organization that helps nearly 3 million members with their financial goals. With their monies, Thrivent has donated an additional $20 million to Habitat on a national level. It recently announced an increase in its four-year commitment to $125 million. Of that amount, $23.2 million will be used this year to build 322 Habitat homes in 42 states.

Already, our members have helped build more than 650 homes with families across the United States in need of simple, decent, affordable housing.
