Last Call

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We are sending our lovingly hand-crafted goods to multiple Stand Downs later this week! If you have a hat, scarf, etc. that you have yet to turn in, this is the last call to support these upcoming Stand Downs. Please contact our office ASAP to arrange for a pick up!


October Stand Downs are Coming Up

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! It’s October which means Stand Downs! There are several Stand Downs that we are serving that are happening in just a couple of weeks! We want offer a heartfelt thank you to all of our awesome crafters who have donated so far in preparation for these Stand Downs. Your donations are deeply treasured by the veterans and their dependants who receive them. For those crafters who have not donated yet, but would like to donate to our cause, there is still time to help us reach our goal in supporting our veterans and their dependents at these Stand Downs.

If you’d like to donate a hat, scarf, face mask, 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 potential 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. Please remember you can support our cause by shopping on AmazonSmile. See the “Shop for Our Cause” blog post for additional information.

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! There are several Stand Downs in October that we are supporting and they are right around the corner!

Ideal Colors for Donations

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Please keep in mind that any garment that you intend to donate for the veterans and their dependents needs to be in darker colors like blue, black, green, grey, and camouflage. However, there are exceptions that we have found to be quite desired by our vets and their dependents, such as royal purple (as pictured) and deep red. Sports team color combinations are also popular and allow us to use some brighter colors as well!
