Happy Friday T.H.R.I.V.E. Association Family! Scarves are a very popular item among our veterans and their dependents and we never seem to have enough to go around. If you are looking for an item to donate to support our cause, please consider making a scarf. There are lots of free patterns, such as the one in the photo on the Yarnspirations website. Please click the link below to find inspiration for your next project to aid our brave heroes and their dependents as they continue their recoveries from homelessness.

Although several of the Stand Downs that we support have been postponed or have had to be altered to keep our communities safe in this current pandemic, we are still collecting goods that will be sent to the various V.A.s throughout the year so please, please keep crafting! If you are not a crafter, but would like to help, there are still many ways to support our cause! Please consider donating materials and/or making a monetary donation to help us cover the costs of materials, shipping, and overhead. Please remember you can support our cause by shopping on AmazonSmile. See the “Shop for Our Cause” blog post for additional information:

If you need yarn, or other supplies, please contact us through email at thriveassociation@thrivevets.org or by phone at (469) 427-9654. If you have donations, we are still continuing our policy of curbside pickup. Please contact us to schedule a pickup if you are in the DFW area. If you reside outside the DFW area and would like to make an in-kind donation, please contact us to make arrangements. Remember, even one lovingly handcrafted hat or scarf can make a huge difference in the life of an underprivileged veteran or their dependent.
