Thrivent donates to childcare center

Trinity Lutheran Childcare Center recently received $3,859 from Thrivent Financial to purchase a playground cover. The funding was made possible through Thrivent's Care Abounds in Communities program where volunteers sold cookie dough on Nov. 13.

"Care Abounds in Communities allows Thrivent Financial members and other interested volunteers to join in service and use the financial resources of Thrivent Financial to serve people and organizations here," said Linda Reid, director of the Douglas/Alpine chapter of Care in Communities. "Thrivent chapter activities like this one connect congregations, institutions and volunteers to make a difference in people's lives."
