    2025 Fall Food Shelf Challenge
    Virtual
    With Thanksgiving approaching, your Thrivent Member Network challenges you to make a difference by collecting food for your local food shelf.
    Partner with your church members, Sunday school, youth group, coworkers, neighbors, civic group, school, or any like-hearted people, and your efforts will be doubled by a Generosity Multiplier Gift from the South Dakota Plains Thrivent Member Network. This challenge is open to the first 50 approved Thrivent clients only.

    Here's how it works:
    Be one of the first 50 clients to be approved for the challenge. Collect at least 500 items from October 1 to October 31, 2025, complete the steps below, and your local food shelf will receive $500 from the Thrivent Member Network South Dakota Plains Region!

    To become eligible for the Generosity Multiplier Gift:
    • Collect the food and creatively display it.
    • Create a poster featuring the date, your group name, city, number of food items, and name/address of your selected food shelf.
    • Take a photo of the food and the poster featuring the information above (extra credit if you wear Action Team shirts)!
    • Complete and submit a report by 11/7/2025 and email your photo(s) to us.
    Additional details can be found on the registration link below.
    No products will be sold. One submission per church/group/food shelf and one Generosity Multiplier Gift per submission, up to a maximum of $500. The challenge will provide gifts up to the total of $25,000. Registration will close once 50 different Thrivent members host 50 separate food drives benefiting 50 different food shelves in the South Dakota Plains Region.
