In November, volunteers gathered at the Thrivent Pinnacle Financial Advisors Little Rock office to pack classroom kits for Special Education teachers in five local public schools. Last week, all five kits were delivered—and it truly felt like playing Santa!
We’re grateful for Thrivent Community Events that make projects like this possible. If you’re a Thrivent member with a passion for kids with special needs and the teachers and therapists that work with them every day, this is a great way to use your Thrivent Action Team dollars.
If you’d like to create and deliver classroom kits of your own, we’re happy to help with the application process and connect you with the Occupational Therapist who works directly with these classrooms. (reposted)

The future may be full of unknowns—but one thing you can prepare for is how you’ll handle long-term care if or when the need arises.

Through a Thrivent Action Team, the Pinnacle Financial team in Helena, MT gathered over $2,500 in gift cards for fun activities around the Helena area for the children in Residential Treatment at Intermountain! So much healing and relationship building can happen while they are bowling, bouncing, going to the movies or enjoying an ice cream treat. Our Thrivent members are so amazing and generous - thank you for making the children's holiday season fun and bright!

This week was a joy, with over 120 Thrivent members visiting Garvan Woodland Gardens for the holiday lights. Second Chance Ranch and the foster families were truly grateful for you generosity. Thank you to everyone who donated toys!

We are so appreciative of the amazing design team that created our "World of Possibilities" entry at Intermountain's Festival of Trees in Helena, MT!
During art class at Intermountain’s Residential School, the students created the paper dolls that adorn our tree. Each child assembled a paper doll that reflects who they are – kids working on hard problems while learning how to navigate relationships, build trust, and hope for a future filled with a world of possibilities.
In support of the Residential Campus and School, all of the items in this “Gift of Giving Back” tree and package were donated back to Intermountain, in addition to the $10K the tree brought during the event!

The Arkansas State Capitol Building is always beautiful sight to behold, but it is extra special this Christmas season!
A few members of our group had the pleasure of taking a tour today. What a fun experience!!
We hope that you too will take some time to get out of the house and see this local treasure. Speaking of 'treasure', they allow you to hold over $500,000 in cash once you are inside the Treasurer's Office!
If you're interested in taking a tour like this with Thrivent members who live here in Central Arkansas, please let us know by commenting below or by sending us an email at PinnacleFinancialAdvisors@Thrivent.com.
