Labor Day 2026

Happy Labor Day, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Labor Day became a national holiday in 1894 and is meant to pay tribute to the American workforce. We hope you all have a safe and joyous holiday!


Memorial Day 2026

Although many of us celebrate Memorial Day with barbecues, parades, etc. it is in fact the most solemn day of the year for Americans. This holiday, originally called “Decoration Day”, was started in 1868, three years after the conclusion of the American Civil War. Its purpose was to honor all of America’s fallen soldiers- regardless of whether they fought on the Union or Confederate side. Eventually, this holiday would be expanded to commemorate every American service member who made the ultimate sacrifice for this great nation that we proudly call “home”. The included photos were taken at the Gettysburg Battlefield in the Gettysburg National Military Park, where our executive staff paid respects to the fallen.

We would like to invite you all to join us in taking time today to reflect on those sacrifices, and to offer a moment of silence for those brave, selfless individuals who gave so much for us all so that we could live in the “the land of the free and the home of the brave.”


Happy Belated Mother’s Day

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We’d like to give a belated shout out to all of the awesome mothers in our community! If you are still looking for a gift for the mom in your life, make a tax-deductible donation to our cause in your mom’s honor. All monetary donations go to supporting our cause to end homelessness among our nation’s homeless military veteran community and their dependents. We ship our lovingly handcrafted gifts to VA Stand Downs all across the United States and shipping rates have increased with the rising cost of fuel, so your monetary donations are vital to furthering our mission!


Mother’s Day

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Mother’s Day is coming up this Sunday, May 10. If you’re still looking for a meaningful gift for the mother(s) in your life, please consider making a monetary donation in their name. Making a donation to honor your mother, grandmother, godmother, etc. in turn honors the wonderful mothers in the veteran community that we serve. We always look forward to attending local Stand Downs where we can get a chance to speak directly to our underprivileged veteran community. Through the years, we’ve spoken to many selfless mothers who prioritize getting one of our hand made garments to keep their children warm before they’d even considering asking for something for themselves. We’ve met expectant mothers who are thrilled to receive hand made baby buntings and baby clothing in preparation for the blessed event! We’ve spoken to countless veterans who reminisced about their own mothers who also lovingly knitted, crocheted, or sewed for them in their youth and were deeply appreciative of the personal hand made nature of T.H.R.I.V.E. Association’s gifts. Give a gift that honors all mothers!


Green for St. Patrick’s Day

Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. In the spirit of Saint Patrick’s Day, green is not only a lucky color, it is an absolute favorite among our veteran community. Green is ALWAYS one of the first garment colors that the veterans choose. Honestly, they can’t get enough of it! So if you’re looking for an ideal color to craft with for a garment to donate to us for our veteran community, think green!
