Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity of Champaign County
Under the Thrivent Builds program, Thrivent provides 65% ($91,000 for our dual-build) of the funding for a homebuild; the local Habitat chapter is expected to provide 25% ($35,000), and the local Lutheran Congregations are expected to contribute 10% ($14,000) through fundraisers or donations. You should be seeing information on fundraisers within your congregation over the next few months to help raise our 10%.

Illini Radio Group (MIX94.5, WIXY 100.3, The Chief 92.5, X99.1) on March 14th will hold an all-day fundraiser to help Habitat raise their $35,000. Be sure to listen that day to hear more information about the Habitat builds for 2007. Christine from Thrivent will be speaking starting at 6AM, and they will interview other people throughout the day.

Prior to the groundbreaking ceremony on May 29th, we need to collect names of volunteers to staff most of the Saturday workdays; please watch for volunteer signup sheets and fundraisers at your church. You may also sign up or donate on our website at http://tbChampaign.com - look there to find more information on the builds.
