Thrivent Financial for Lutherans will sponsor the construction of hundreds of additional Habitat for Humanity homes every year in the United States by combining the efforts of 2.8 million Thrivent Financial members with Lutheran congregations and institutions, communities, partner families and Habitat affiliates. More than two-thirds of the funding for each home will be contributed by Thrivent Financial, its members and local chapters. The remaining funding will be raised through the ongoing efforts of local Lutheran congregations and Habitat affiliates.
Our Thrivent chapter (Hudson Valley) was selected to sponsor and support a Thrivent Builds project in Newburgh, one of the economically hardest hit areas of our region. As part of the project, our chapter needs to raise 10% of the cost of the house, 65% of the cost will be provided by Thrivent Financial and 25% by the Newburgh Habitat for Humanity affiliate. 50% of the volunteer hours need to be provided by Lutherans and of those hours, 25% need to be provided by Thrivent members (associate or beneficial).
This year’s project is on 53 Temple Ave and will be a house framed off site by BOCES and moved to the site for finishing.

The main work today was the painstaking work of extending the siding down and replacing the siding trim on the corners.
