Celebrating Our Community Heroes!
Our team at Eckhardt Financial Group had the privilege of participating in a special event with one of our favorite local partner organizations—Collinsville Faith in Action. This incredible group of volunteers pours their time, energy, and hearts into helping homebound, disabled, and isolated senior citizens in our area through transportation services, social visits, and home repairs. Their work touches lives in ways that often go unseen—but never unnoticed.
Thanks to a Thrivent Action Team, we were able to fund and support this meaningful volunteer appreciation event. Thrivent’s Action Teams provide up to $250 in seed money to kickstart service, educational, or fundraising projects that matter—along with supplies to support the volunteers making it all happen.
For this event, we gathered at a new small business, Quinton’s Crafthouse on Main Street in Collinsville, and painted adorable, festive Easter bunnies together. The room was filled with creativity, connection, and lots of laughter. A delicious lunch, generously catered by the Collinsville Senior Center, made the day even more special.
We’re so grateful that Collinsville Faith in Action gave our very own rockstar, Ryleigh, the opportunity to share a bit about Thrivent and how EFG serves clients and gives back to our community.
We truly feel blessed to live and work in a community filled with such generous hearts. We’re excited for all the good things to come with Collinsville Faith in Action—and can’t wait to continue finding new ways to support and bless the people we love most.

Our advisors gathered to celebrate a year of impact—and to gear up for what’s next.
Recently, our financial advisor team came together to reflect on 2024—a year filled with purpose, progress, and partnership. We celebrated not just our growth as a team, but the meaningful ways we helped clients make the most of their money.
From financial planning and debt strategies to investment guidance and insurance protection, we walked alongside clients through life’s twists and turns—always focused on what matters most to them.
This celebration was a moment to pause and appreciate the trust our clients place in us every day. It was also a reminder of the responsibility we carry—and how honored we are to do this work.
As we look ahead to the rest of 2025, we’re energized and ready to continue helping our clients navigate life’s financial journey with clarity, care, and confidence.
Here’s to another year of impact, together.
