Thrivent Financial for Lutherans is a faith-based, not-for-profit financial services organization that has worked with Habitat for Humanity of Orange County (HfHOC) since 2004. Since the inception of their local partnership, Thrivent Financial for Lutherans has contributed $1,096,706 to HfHOC. Thrivent Financial for Lutherans encourages Lutheran congregations to enter into partnerships with HfHOC through financial donations and volunteer labor. Since the Lutheran Partnership’s first grant, $360,000 has been donated to support HfHOC homes and 2,200 Thrivent members and local Lutherans have provided more than 18,000 hours of volunteer time, a contribution valued at $419,200. One example of a Thrivent-sponsored home is the Diaz family in Westminster where the widowed father of two autistic teenagers is very grateful for the home that provides stability, security and a nurturing environment.
