Carson Valley Pops recently received $850 as part of a fundraiser hosted on Feb. 26 by members from the Douglas/Alpine Chapter of Thrivent Financial for Lutherans. The funds will be used to purchase new music and instruments.

Thrivent Financial members and other volunteers raised $500 and an additional $350 was provided by Thrivent Financial. Through its chapter programs, Thrivent Financial provides financial support and other resources for its members to come together to help their communities and congregations through fundraisers and service activities.

“Thrivent Financial provides its members and other interested volunteers the opportunity to join in service and use the financial resources of Thrivent Financial to serve people and organizations here in our local area,” said Linda Reid of Douglas/Alpine Chapter of Thrivent Financial. “Thrivent chapter activities like this one connect congregations, institutions and volunteers to make a difference in people's lives.”

All Thrivent Financial members belong to a local organization – most often a chapter – that provides a way for them to give back to their communities, congregations and causes they care about through charitable activities, as well as connect with one another through social and educational events. Anyone can join in volunteer and educational activities hosted by Thrivent Financial.
