Thrivent Financial for Lutherans 

A very strong partner for Hartford Habitat 

 

We are very happy to have our friends from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans work with us on our third Thrivent house!  Just this month, we broke ground at 192 Laurel Street in Hartford and on Saturday, January 22 we dedicated 148 Wilcox Street in New Britain.  

 

Both the Lebron Family and the Ocasio Family are thrilled to have the support of other Hartford Habitat partner familes - current and prospective - as well as board members, staff and volunteers.  The families are especially grateful to have Thrivent Builds as their partner sponsor, which is only building one house in CT this year in partnership with Habitat for Humanity. 

 

Our third Thrivent house, which is located on Laurel Street is in the Asylum Hill Neighborhood in Hartford, will be part of the Community Collaboration that will take place one street over on South Marshall.  Don't get left behind ~ or in the cold!! See who else is involved already and become part of this great movement today!
