Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! This past Saturday, we were able to take part in the festivities at the annual Trunk or Treat event hosted by the Steven A. Cohen Military Family Clinic at Metrocare. We are thankful to all the wonderful and welcoming staff there for allowing T.H.R.I.V.E. Association to join in on bringing the good vibes and candy to the veteran families in our local community!
Juneteenth 2023
Happy Juneteenth, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Today we celebrate freedom and stand united with our BIPOC brothers and sisters.
Make an Impactful Father’s Day Gift!
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Father’s Day is right around the corner. If you are still looking for just the right gift for that special dad in your life, please consider making a tax-deductible monetary donation in their name to support those brave men and women who have served our great Nation. Go to our web shop at http://thrivevets.square.site where we have our ever popular thank you gifts, like stress footballs and wristbands, back in stock! Your monetary donation can help us to purchase yarn and other crafting materials, maintain our daily operations, and send packages of completed garments to Veterans Affairs partners nationwide for dissemination via Stand Downs. You can also maximize the impact of your donation by opting not to receive a thank you gift.
Memorial Day 2023
Today we honor those brave service members who made the ultimate sacrifice for this great nation that we call our home. Let us never forget them and what they have done for us.
Here’s to All of Our Awesome Mothers!
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We hope that you all had a very pleasant Mother’s Day and were able to spend some quality time with the mothers and/or mother figures in your life!
T.H.R.I.V.E. Association supports all mothers, fathers, and children in the entire veteran family. Many of the female veterans that we serve have children in their care and we aim to ensure that not only do the veterans receive our gifts, their dependents do as well! With this being said, we are out of children’s (toddler to school age) sized garments. Many of the Stand Downs that we serve inform us ahead of time how many children that are under their care and we must ensure that we have enough stock of these age-appropriate garments on hand to meet the need. We thank all of our staff, donors, volunteers, and supporters for all of their hard work and continued enthusiastic dedication to the cause!
Presidents’ Day 2023
Happy Presidents’ Day, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We here at T.H.R.I.V.E. HQ endeavor to follow President Abraham Lincoln’s lead when he said “to care for him who shall have borne the battle and for his widow, and his orphan.” We are resolute in providing lovingly hand-crafted garments for as many underprivileged veterans and their dependents as possible. Please support us in our mission!
Operation Care Christmas Gift 2022
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. We hope that you are all enjoying this festive time of year! We wanted to thank our amazing volunteers and staff members for their incredible hard work and dedication to our cause. Last Thursday, we were able to give our lovingly hand crafted goods to our longtime partner Operation Care for their annual Christmas Gift Stand Down. We couldn’t have done this without our amazing community and T.H.R.I.V.E. family. Thank you all so very much and stay warm!
Operation Care’s Christmas Gift 2022
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Operation Care’s Christmas Gift 2022, which supports Dallas-Fort Worth’s homeless and at-risk population (including veterans and their dependents), is right around the corner! We have been supporting this event for years and each year is better than the last, so we’re definitely going to take part again this year. We’ll be there, in person, to pass out our lovingly hand crafted gifts to the lovely veterans and their dependents! If you have a hand crafted gift (such as a hat, scarf, etc.) that you would like to donate to our cause for this event, please contact our offices as soon as possible to make arrangements for pick up/drop off.
