Through the Care Abounds in Communities® chapter Care program, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans provides funding for members participating in community service teams. These teams are made up of six or more Thrivent Financial member families who seek to conduct fund-raising activities and/or hands-on service activities. Nonmembers of the organization are encouraged to participate in these Care program activities with established community service teams.
"Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is a membership organization that encourages its members to join with others to use their volunteer and financial resources for the good of the community," said Sorvik. "Care Abounds in Communities makes the impact of Thrivent Financial members who join in service even greater. It’s tremendously exciting to know that when we volunteer, the organization that brings us together multiplies the good we do, providing even more help to people in need and our community."
