Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Thrivent Financial for this amazing organization's work to help Minnesota families acquire a home. Thrivent Financial is a longtime partner of Habitat for Humanity. During the partnership, they have given more than $2 million in grants to build quality low-income housing so that 24 families in our community could afford to buy a home. This year, Thrivent has given another $66,000, which will be used to build the 25th home, this time for a family right here in St. Cloud, Minnesota. As a result of their service to Minnesota families, Thrivent has been inducted into the Habitat for Humanity's Business Partner Hall of Fame. I want to commend both Habitat for Humanity and Thrivent Financial on this excellent partnership, and thank them for their generous service to the residents of Minnesota. ____________________
