Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! Thank you so much to all of our very generous and skilled donors. Because of all of your support, we were able to send two large packages of our lovingly handcrafted gifts to our longtime partners’ Stand Downs in West Virginia and Kentucky. Thank you so much for all that you do to help us to accomplish our mission!
Stand Downs and Fiber Fest!
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family. We have several Stand Downs happening in quick succession this month and we need your help! We are several hundred handmade hats short of our goal for these Stand Downs. Please keep your amazing handcrafted gifts coming in; They are desperately needed and dearly loved by the veterans and their dependents who receive them!
We will be at DFW Fiber Fest in Texas held at the Irving Convention Center at Las Colinas on September 19-21, 2025, doing some awesome community building and collecting donations of hats, scarves, etc. We hope to see all of you there! It is always so much fun and a great experience!
Package Sent to Washington
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!
We Need Your Help
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.

Help Us Reach Our Goal
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 need your help to reach our goal of 400 handcrafted hats, scarves, etc. to support the veterans and their dependents that are anticipated to attend these Stand Downs.

Upcoming Stand Downs!
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)!
Thank You Dallas and Abilene!
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We had two awesome Texas Stand Downs back-to-back last week. It was such an honor and a privilege to serve both of these Stand Downs. We are deeply appreciative and humbled by being able to contribute to every Stand Down that we partner with and were very moved by the response from the veterans when they received our handcrafted gifts. “Handcrafted” means so much to them! Firstly, we’d like to thank the Dallas and the Abilene VAs for organizing the Stand Downs and making this all happen! Next, we’d like to thank our awesome volunteers who continue to support our noble cause! And last, but not least, we’d like to thank our wonderful and dedicated staff who worked tirelessly to ensure that every veteran and their dependents at these Stand Downs would be served and receive their lovingly handcrafted gifts!
It’s Time for the Dallas and Abilene Stand Downs!
Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E. Association family! We’re all hands on deck, working hard to prepare for both the Dallas and Abilene Stand Downs being held later this week. Supporting both of these events back-to-back is looking to leave us starting back from scratch, so please don’t stop crafting for our underprivileged veterans and their dependents!
