Thrivent Builds With Idaho Falls Area
|
|
|
|
Thrivent Builds home located at 1067 Bannock Ave. |
|
We reached the finish line for Habitat for Humanity Idaho Falls Area Thrivent Build. The Drak Family moved into their new home this fall and are enjoying their first chance at decorating for the holidays.
As a gift from the Habitat for Humanity affiliate, Joe and Lora selected a donated washer and dryer from our storage. The set was installed on Friday, October 24th along with a pretty nifty donated mailbox.
Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity is a four-year, $125 million alliance between Thrivent Financial for Lutherans and Habitat for Humanity International. “Thrivent Builds” homes mirror other Habitat homes, but have a greater focus on volunteers from Thrivent chapters and Lutheran congregations. Those groups and other community volunteers—including Habitat partner families—come together to build simple, decent, affordable homes. But it’s not a giveaway program. Homes are sold to partner families at no profit. In addition to monthly mortgage payments, each homebuyer family invests hundreds of hours of labor into building their home and other Habitat houses.
In its first two years, the program funded construction for more than 650 homes in 46 states and the District of Columbia. Hundreds of thousands of volunteers helped build the homes.
In the Idaho Falls area, home #19 was built in partnership with Thrivent Builds. It cost $79,500 to build the home.
· Thrivent Financial funded 65 percent,
· Habitat for Humanity Idaho Falls contributed 25 percent,
· Local Thrivent chapters raised 10 percent.
Some 300 volunteers lent their hearts and hammers to help build the Drak home over the summer.
Thank you to the many volunteers who have worked to make the Thrivent sponsorship a reality.
