Why Fundraise?
The Thrivent Builds Worldwide Gulf Coast Community program is helping families achieve the security of their own homes. But the need in the Mississippi Gulf Coast is greater than what our program alone can meet. By fundraising for an additional donation you can help even more families rebuild their homes and their lives. And it's a great way to engage others who are unable to go on your trip in the mission of rebuilding the Gulf Coast.
