St. Joseph, MO – Thrivent Financial and St. Joseph Habitat for Humanity are taking on home upgrades in St. Joseph.

The partnership program Thrivent Builds Repairs will be at a home at 1101 S. 11th St. Saturday morning in St. Joseph to help replace siding and paint their front porch.

“This program provides us with more options to serve our community,” said Cody F. Vaughn, Financial Associate with Thrivent Financial. “Upgrading existing homes not only makes the homes safer and more efficient, it also cultivates community pride.”

The program repairs upgrades existing homes through projects like installing accessibility ramps, exterior painting, weatherization, porch repair or light landscaping. It’s part of an ongoing partnership between Thrivent Financial and Habitat for Humanity International, called Thrivent Builds with Habitat for Humanity.

“The Thrivent Builds partnership is helping St. Joseph Habitat increase the number of families served in our community by helping home owners stay in their homes,” said St. Joseph Habitat for Humanity’s Executive Director, Melissa Koch. “We are so grateful for Thrivent’s support of our efforts to build homes and repair homes in partnership with families in need of decent and affordable housing.”
