Happy Monday, dear THRIVE Association family. Last week we sent a package containing 200 of our lovingly handcrafted gifts to the Stand Down held in Vancouver, Washington. We are so honored to serve this great community!
Thank you to all our volunteers and donors! We couldn’t do any of this wonderful work without you!
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Many of our partners’ Stand Downs are taking place in September and we desperately need your help to accomplish our mission. Many of these Stand Downs are in very cold areas of our great Nation. Please help us to reach our goal of 400 handcrafted hats, scarves, etc. to support the underprivileged veterans and their dependents that are anticipated to attend these Stand Downs.
Stand Downs are very effective at helping veterans recover from homelessness, and we love supporting them in their efforts. We have had several veterans who have attended Stand Downs in the past, received our gifts, and are now recovered sufficiently to volunteer/donate to our cause. Lets keep that momentum going!
If you would like to help our cause to end veteran homelessness, but are not a crafter, please consider making a tax-deductible monetary donation to cover the cost of shipping our gifts to our partner Stand Downs. Often these shipping costs are several hundred dollars, so every dollar helps.

Happy Monday dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We’ve got some exciting news to share—our headquarters is moving!
Before you start wondering what this means for our community, let us say this loud and clear: we’re still here for you, just like always. Our heart, our mission, and our work in every state we serve isn’t changing one bit.
So why the move?
Like any growing organization, we’re evolving. Our team has expanded, our programs have deepened, and this move helps us better support the amazing work happening across the country. A new HQ gives us more flexibility, better resources, and space to dream bigger—all while staying connected to the veteran community that we love so much.
What isn’t changing:
Think of this as a new address on the envelope, but the same familiar voice on the other end of the line.
We’re so grateful for your continued support and trust. Wherever our headquarters are located, our mission remains rooted in you.
Here’s to the next chapter of T.H.R.I.V.E. Association’s incredible journey—and to serving every corner of our community, just like always.
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We just want to take a moment to say thank you. Whether you’ve volunteered your time and skills, donated money and/or in-kind goods, or cheered us on from the sidelines, your support means the world to us—and the impact is real.
Because of you, we’ve helped thousands of homeless veterans and their dependents over the last decade. We’re so proud of what we’ve accomplished together!
We’re almost at our goal for the upcoming Stand Downs- but we still have a ways to go. If you’re able to craft a garment, chip in a dollar or two for the shipping costs, or spread the word, it could help push us across the finish line.
Regardless, please know that we are deeply grateful for all that you do. You’re a vital part of this community, and we couldn’t do this without you.

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. We have so many Stand Downs coming up in quick succession. Many of these Stand Downs are in very cold areas of the country.

We would like to take this time to hold a moment of silence and reflection for those who are impacted by the severe floods here in our home state of Texas. If you need someone to talk to, remember that we are here for you.
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. We’ve got several very large Stand Down events coming up in quick succession! There is an urgent need for hats, scarves, mittens, lap blankets, etc., as these Stand Downs are in some of the coldest regions in the nation that we serve.
If you would like to donate a hat, scarf, lap blanket or other handcrafted garment to our cause, please remember that the dear 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 (including children because of choking hazards).
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 need yarn, or other supplies, please contact us through email at thriveassociation@thrivevets.org or by phone at (469) 427-9654. Please be aware that any communications are recorded. If you have donations and cannot make it to one of our in-person knitting groups, 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(s)!
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.
