Christmas Generosity Event | Mission Arlington

Please join us for a day of giving back in the DFW area and helping families in need through Mission Arlington’s donation-based Christmas Store. Last year, United Way served more than 7,700 families through the Christmas Store. We’re looking for volunteers to help stock shelves with donated toys, as well as volunteers to shop for and wrap presents from family wish lists for pickup. After serving together, we’ll gather at a local restaurant for a time of fellowship.

Generosity Card
As part of this opportunity, Thrivent employees will also receive a Generosity Card via email. We encourage you to use the card to extend the spirit of generosity even further this Christmas season.
Our hope is that this day is about more than volunteering together. It’s an opportunity to serve, give and make a meaningful impact in ways that are personal to you and your family. Please consider using your Generosity Card to bless someone or support a cause that matters to you this Christmas.
