Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We’d like to thank all of our staff, community partners, crafters, and donors for their tireless efforts and continued support for our mission throughout 2024. We wholeheartedly wish all of you and your loved ones a very happy New Year!
Happy holidays!
Happy holidays, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We wish you and your loved ones a joyous and festive holiday season! Our offices will be closed until January 6, 2025, however T.H.R.I.V.E. Association will have an informational booth in the Veterans’ Village at the Armed Forces Bowl being held at the Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas on December 27. For those who are coming, we look forward to seeing you there! To everyone else, we’ll catch you in 2025!
Armed Forces Bowl 2024
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! T.H.R.I.V.E. will have a booth in the Veterans’ Village at the Armed Forces Bowl being held at the Amon G. Carter Stadium in Fort Worth, Texas on December 27. We’ll be there to raise awareness about our mission of providing a hand up to our underprivileged military veterans and their dependents, so come on by and say, “Hi!” It’s always been a lot of fun in previous years, so we encourage you to attend if you can make it. We look forward to seeing you there!
We Need Your Donations
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. We’re hoping everyone is enjoying this holiday season! Jack Frost is paying his annual visit and nipping at our noses, and with the colder weather comes the need for us all to stay warm by bundling up. Our underprivileged military veterans and their dependents are in great need of that warmth and our support. We have a shortage of hats, scarves, and lap blankets to meet the demands of upcoming Stand Downs.
If you’d like to donate a hat, scarf, lap blanket, or other handcrafted garment to our cause, please remember that the veterans and their dependents prefer dark colors (e.g. blue, black, green, grey, and all-time favorite, camouflage). If you would like to knit, crochet, or sew a garment in a brighter color, red or deep purple are always popular bright colors. We cannot emphasize this important point enough: please do not use sparkly or overly decorative yarns and fabrics. While they have their place, they are simply inappropriate for the veterans and their dependents.
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 donations and are in the Dallas-Fort Worth area, we are still continuing our policy of curbside pickup. Please contact us to schedule a pickup. If you reside outside the DFW area and would like to make an in-kind donation, you can ship your donations to us here in Dallas. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact us. Remember, even one lovingly handcrafted hat or scarf can make a huge difference in the life of an underprivileged veteran or their dependent(s)!
Giving Tuesday 2024
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Tomorrow is Giving Tuesday, so please consider making a one-time or monthly monetary donation to support our mission. All monetary donations are tax deductible and directly help to cover the costs of materials, shipping, and overhead. If you’re looking for a gift for that special someone, please check out our web-shop! You can show your T.H.R.I.V.E. pride with our branded stress footballs, t-shirts, and popular wristbands! No donation is too small, as every dollar goes to help further our mission of providing our great nation’s underprivileged military veterans and their dependents with lovingly handmade garments as they continue on their road to recovery from homelessness.
