Happy Monday dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We want to thank the members of our dedicated staff who spent their weekend crafting for our partner V.A. in Anchorage, Alaska. Their hard work and dedication to T.H.R.I.V.E. Association’s mission is second to none. A heartfelt thanks to all of you! We are so grateful for all that you do!
As we said in our post last week, our goal is to take at least 150 hats and scarves, and 20 blankets to the Anchorage V.A. These gifts are always deeply treasured by the veterans and their dependents. We have heard both from the veterans themselves and also from VA staff and other Community partners that our lovingly handcrafted gifts really do encourage the veterans and make them feel appreciated and loved. Our gifts are more than the sum of the parts; what makes them special is that they are handmade by the T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family of crafters with love and appreciation.
If you don’t craft, but want to help, please make a tax-deductible monetary donation to help cover the travel costs. Alternatively, if you would like to make an in-kind gift, we need Lion Brand Pound of Love yarn. Just one of these one-pound balls of yarn can easily make up to six warm double thick hats!
