Thrivent Action Teams and Community Involvement
At Thrivent, you have the ability to make an impact within your community. We do that with a variety of community engagement activities. This photo is with the Lowrider Bike Club in Olathe, KS. We purchased a few bikes for this group that allows kids within the Olathe Schools community to do something structured and enjoyable for them outside of school.
