Thrivent Builds
Thrivent Financial has sponsored its sixth home with Habitat for Humanity Portland/Metro East. The home will be built in partnership with the Mohamed family.
Nationally, the partnership between Thrivent for Lutherans and Habitat for Humanity has spanned five years and contributed $140 million towards giving a “hand up” to people who lack decent shelter. The home will be located in the 9-home Lents Landing project in Portland.
To fulfill our commitment to Thrivent, we must recruit the Lutheran community to get involved and participate in fundraising and volunteering. The project has begun – please join us!
