Thrivent Action Teams
What are Thrivent Action Teams?
Thrivent Action Teams encourage people to support an event or cause by living generously in their community. Maybe you want to raise money to help remodel a building space at camp. You could but together an Action Team by using the $250 to advertise and buy supplies for the specific fundraiser, like a bake sale. Volunteers would provide the treats and work at the event. The community would purchase the goodies with proceeds going towards camper fees. Another option might be to use the Action Team funds to purchase First Aid supplies for the summer. Volunteers would shop for the supplies and assemble the First Aid kits.
