We’re Thankful for You
Happy Monday dear, T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We hope that you all have a safe and joyous holiday. As we were having our monthly meeting, we went around the table and asked each staff member what they were thankful for; and although we each had our own things to be thankful for this season, the common thread was you, our T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. We are so thankful to have you all in our family. It takes a village to accomplish our goal. You are vital in helping us accomplish our mission to end homelessness among our Nation’s veterans and their dependents. Remember that we love you all and are thinking of each and every one of you here at T.H.R.I.V.E. HQ.
We know that the holidays can be tough for everyone. Just know that we are always here for you. And, although our office will be closed for the Thursday and Friday of this week, our phone lines are always open if you need to talk. Stay safe, and take care of yourselves.
Our Goal for December
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! There are still veterans in need and we’ve already got request lists from our partner Stand Downs for 2026. We have an ambitious goal to reach 600 lovely hand crafted hats, scarves, mittens, etc. by December 31st. Many of these veterans live in very cold areas of our Nation. Please help us to reach our goal to support the veterans and their dependents who are under the care of our partner V.A.s.
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.
Gift-giving Season
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! The holidays are approaching, and we’re all thinking about gift-giving. We’re all making our lists and checking them twice, finding out, of course, that everyone in the T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family has been pretty nice.
Please kindly consider giving a tax-deductible monetary gift to support our Mission in your loved one’s name. Alternatively, how about making an anonymous gift to support our cause for Secret Santa in your work place?
We also have several wonderful gifts in our web shop. Why not consider showing your T.H.R.I.V.E. spirit with some of our ever popular T-shirts and wristbands? Our stress footballs are also in stock and make for great stocking stuffers!
Memorial Day 2025
Dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family, we are going to forgo our ordinary cheery weekly greeting in honor of a more appropriate somber tone for this day. 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”.
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.”
Honoring All Mothers
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We hope you had a spectacular Mother’s Day weekend with your loved ones. If you’re still looking for that 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 our 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!
VE Day
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. This week marks the start of the celebrations of VE (Victory in Europe) Day, May 8. We would like to take a moment to reflect on all of the sacrifices, hardships, and determination necessary to prevail in the European theatre of WWII. A time where we all, including Americans, united to stamp out tyranny.
St. Patrick’s Day 2025
Happy St. Patrick’s Day, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Are you wearing your green today? If not, make sure to check out our webshop to get some of our popular green bracelets and t-shirts to not get pinched and also to rep your support for our mission to help our underprivileged military veterans and their dependents. And for our beloved crafters out there, don’t forget that green is an extremely popular color to use for your lovely handcrafted gifts of hats, scarves, mittens, etc. with our veteran community. The green garments are always some of the first to be chosen at Stand Down events. Everybody loves green – men, women, and children alike! ☘️
Presidents’ Day 2025
On this Presidents’ Day, we wanted to reflect on some quotes from one of our country’s greatest leaders – Abraham Lincoln.
”May our children and our children’s children to a thousand generations, continue to enjoy the benefits conferred upon us by a united country, and have cause yet to rejoice under those glorious institutions bequeathed us by Washington and his compeers.”
“In times like the present, men should utter nothing for which they would not willingly be responsible through time and eternity.”
