In addition to the grant, Thrivent is auctioning a CCQ instructor-made quilt with the proceeds going to our organization. Thrivent is a member-owned fraternal benefit society that makes grants to organizations and activities that strengthen families and communities. We’re so grateful for Thrivent’s support. Thank you!
