Kankakee County Habitat for Humanity will be partnering with Thrivent Financial to build a home alongside a local family.

Thrivent has awarded $40,000 to support the construction. Thrivent members and other volunteers will also give of their time to assist in the home build. Thrivent Financial is partnering with Habitat for Humanity affiliates across the US to build or repair homes in 2017 through the Thrivent Builds Homes and Thrivent Builds Repairs program.

Larry Burton with Thrivent Financial says “The Thrivent Builds program provides us with more options to serve our area. The support we receive from the local community for projects like this is overwhelming, and we look forward to working together in 2017.”
