Dear Friends:


When disaster strikes, Christians are among the first to look for ways to help those in need, whether it means lending a helping hand or making a monetary donation.

In addition to relief efforts your church may be involved with, Thrivent members and others can help hurricane victims in the following ways:
  • Donate. Make a personal donation. Thrivent will match individual personal donations – up to $1 million – made through Thrivent.com to assist specific disaster relief organizations.* Eligible members can also direct Choice Dollars®.
  • Volunteer. Thrivent members can share their time and talent to help with recovery efforts by leading a volunteer Thrivent Action Team.
Visit the Disaster Response page on Thrivent.com for details on these opportunities.

Also, if it’s appropriate, please consider running the following in your church’s newsletter, bulletin, on its website or on social feeds:
As we pray for those who have been affected by Hurricane Florence, Thrivent – a membership organization of Christians – is mobilizing its financial resources and members to help those in need. Thrivent members and others who want to help with the recovery efforts are encouraged to visit Thrivent.com to learn more about our organization’s commitment to match individual personal donations and other ways in which people can help.
We thank you and your church for continuing to keep those who suffer in your prayers and support them as you’re financially or physically able. Your commitment to living generously is appreciated.
