Join Hands Day is sponsored by America’s Fraternal Benefit Societies, including Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. It is designed to generate awareness about the impact of grassroots volunteerism.

It also encourages youth and adults to come together to improve their communities while building lasting friendships across generations.

$500.00 of Join Hands Day seed money is available through the Thrivent Wright County Board. Money can be used to purchase supplies or refreshments for an activity, or Thrivent promotional items.

Activities can be held anytime between April 1st – June 30th. There is more information on the Thrivent.com or JoinHandsDay.org.

When you begin planning your activity, you need to complete and submit a “Request for Funding Form” to the Thrivent Wright County Leadership Board before that activity date. You can ask any of the Thrivent Zion Congregational Coordinators for this form or print it from Thrivent.com.

Some activity ideas are:

• Pot flowers in planters with seniors at a senior living facility
• Volunteer at an animal shelter
• Go grocery shopping for seniors who live alone
• Write letters to Armed Forces soldiers
