Give Thanks Give Back

Between October 14th and November 18th go to the survey through the link below to vote for one of four regional food banks. For each vote, the food banks will receive a $20 donation from the Northland Thrivent Member Network up to $40,000. That means we need 2,000 votes.

Help us max out this giving by sending the link to family and friends - even if they aren't Thrivent clients - to help make a difference.
