Thrivent Builds Homes Dedication Interview (5 min.)

It takes many hands to build a home with Thrivent Builds. Dedicated volunteers from local Thrivent Financial chapters, congregations and communities join together with local Habitat affiliates and partner families to make Thrivent Builds Homes a success.

Together these individuals change many lives – often including their own – and in the course of building homes, they also build lasting friendships and stronger communities. Learn more about these dedicated homeowners and volunteers.
