Over 150 volunteer hours.
Over 200 donated items.
Over $20,000 raised.
And last night, 39 individuals came together in service to veterans—whose service to this country will always be honored.
Trailhead Financial Group – Thrivent and Asheville Buncombe Community Christian Ministry leadership gathered for a simple but powerful ask: open your hearts—to each other, to your community, and to our veterans.
Hosted at Ruth's Chris Asheville, the evening brought together local community leaders and business owners who showed up in support, including Claywood ShareWell Coffee Co. & Roastery SunSpots Voices - Voiceover Talent Agency & Creative Audio Production
Michael Jay Raymond shared the impact of our clients’ and members’ generosity, and how Thrivent’s member benefits empower people to give back in meaningful, tangible ways.
Tim McElyea, Chief Administrative Officer at ABCCM, delivered a heartfelt look into the future of the Veterans Restoration Quarters and the critical role generosity plays in supporting veterans, families, and individuals displaced after Hurricane Helene.
This was a true community effort.
We need more of this.
Because generosity is contagious when passed from hand to hand.
