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.
