Donate to our Cause

Published: February 26, 2024  ~   0

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Please keep the recipients in mind when crafting for our veterans and their dependents. Colors such as camouflage or solid blacks, blues, greens, grays, dark reds, and royal purples are the most desired by the veteran community that we serve. Also, the majority of those that we serve are predominantly adult males, so make sure to size accordingly!

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.

If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us through our email at thriveassociation@thrivevets.org or by phone at (469) 427-9654. A staff member will be happy to assist you! Please be aware that any communications are recorded. We are still continuing our policy of curbside pickup for our DFW area residents, so if you have any donations please contact us to schedule a pickup. 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(s)!

Happy Presidents’ Day, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. On this day, we celebrate George Washington’s birthday (Feb. 22), Abraham Lincoln’s birthday (Feb. 12), and all of those whom have served as president of the United States. Also, did you know that about two-thirds of our presidents were also veterans?

Valentine’s Day

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Valentine’s Day is right around the corner! If you are still looking for the perfect gift for that special someone in your life, please consider giving the gift of a charitable contribution to help further T.H.R.I.V.E. Association’s mission. A monetary contribution in your loved one’s name or some of our merch make for great, thoughtful gifts. What could be better for Valentine’s than some of our popular stress footballs or matching silicone bracelets for you and boo? All monetary contributions to T.H.R.I.V.E. Association are tax deductible and will aid us in our mission to offer a hand up to our underprivileged military veterans and their dependents!

Q&A 2024, Part 1

Published: February 5, 2024  ~   0

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. Wow, it’s already February! We’ve got lots of events coming up, so please keep those donations coming. We especially need more scarves for the upcoming Stand Downs.

Speaking of scarves, we were recently asked by a donor whether or not we accept loom knit garments. The answer is a resounding, “yes!” Loom knitting is a fun and effective way to create many beautiful charitable gifts, especially scarves. We’ve found through the years that the veterans absolutely love our loom knit scarves. Years of feedback from our veteran community has shown them to be sturdy, warm, and comfortable. We’ve found that loom knit scarves in the simplest patterns and in darker colors are some of the most desired scarves at the Stand Downs.
