As of June 1, 2022, there were 4,186 kids in Nebraska’s foster care system. Many of them need things like toiletries, school supplies, toys, books and more. To help meet their needs, the Thrivent Member Network–Nebraska Region is hosting a Care Packs for Kids collection drive during the month of October.
HOW YOU CAN HELP - Simply drop off new items at your participating Thrivent office during the month of October. If you are a Thrivent client with membership, consider leading a Thrivent Action Team to collect supplies. Gather a team (2 or more people) and use the $250 Community Action Card to supplement your collection.

For every care pack completed at a participating Thrivent office, the Thrivent Member Network–Nebraska Region will provide a generosity multiplier by donating $20 to that office’s highlighted foster care service organization.

Details about this promotion are available on this printable flyer.
