Twin Cities Habitat for Humanity

This week, volunteers from Thrivent Financial for Lutherans are busy setting trusses, putting in subfloor as well as raising and sheeting the garage for this ever so special Habitat home. Members from the group’s technology department and financial advice center have been braving the balmy temperatures all week. Their hope is to have exterior and interior put up and have the roof trusses installed by this Saturday.
This home in St. Louis Park marks the 2,000 Habitat home built in the state of Minnesota. To commemorate this occasion Twin Cities Habitat is presenting two Ride for Home routes for bikers: a five-mile family ride and a 40-mile loop from Minneapolis down through Hopkins and Minnetonka to beautiful Wayzata and back past scenic Medicine Lake and Golden Valley.
Both rides will start and end at the Jewish Community Center in Minneapolis, where construction on the 2,000th Habitat home will have begun just down the road.
The 40-mile route also loops in with a very special ride, the Habitat 500. This annual seven-day, 500-mile ride presented by Habitat for Humanity of Minnesota is an impressive display of the determination and drive of Habitat supporters. After returning to the JCC, all riders will have a special opportunity to participate in our Annual Homeowner’s Picnic. This family-friendly picnic lunch will offer our riders the chance to mingle with the Hab500 riders and our fabulous homeowners in a relaxed and casual setting.
