“Thrivent Builds” Volunteer Spotlight


Habitat for Humanity of Ventura County is proud to build with Bruce Wilcox (Thrivent Ventura County CA Chapter President) and Gordon Henry (Thrivent Chapter Financial Director) through Habitat’s Thrivent Builds program funded by Thrivent Financial.

Bruce and Gordon have volunteered their time and talents with the Ventura County Habitat affiliate for over 10 years, helping to build and repair more than 30 homes for families in need of safe, decent and affordable housing.  Gordon and his wife Melissa have also participated in numerous Thrivent Build trips to Guatemala and Habitat for Humanity Global Village Builds. Their commitment to Habitat for Humanity moves us all closer to a world where everyone has a decent place to live.

“The type of dedication Gordon and Bruce show is really inspiring in the amount of time, multiple organizations and communities they touch,” said Lisa Higginbotham, Thrivent Financial Associate. “It’s always an honor to work with them and call them partners in living generously!”
