Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! 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. Check out our web-shop where 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.

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! It’s already February and Valentine’s Day is coming up soon! If you’re 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. 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!

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We’ve got the first Stand Down events of 2025 that we are partnered with coming up soon, so please keep sending in your hand crafted donations! We are in need of more hats, scarves, gaiters, and lap blankets to support the homeless veteran communities that these Stand Downs serve. Please send in your donations as soon as possible (or make arrangements to schedule a pickup if you are in the DFW area).

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)!

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. Today, we reflect on the legacy of Rev. Martin Luther King Jr. and his teachings of hope, unity, and equality for all.
