We’ve been busy this past month, having sent 100 items to Fairbanks AK and 200 items to Huntington WV! Our goods were well loved by the veterans who received them, so thank you for all of your support and hard work. However, we still have several Stand Downs coming up, such as Fort Worth and Dallas TX, and need your help to meet the needs of the veterans at these events. We are short on hats and scarves in the darker shades of black, blue, green, grey, and camouflage. We need your support to meet the numbers at these Stand Downs, in the colors and styles that the veterans prefer. So please, send in your work as soon as you can!
Meeting Goals
As a special thanks to all of the hard work put forth by our dedicated volunteers, T.H.R.I.V.E. Association has fresh homemade vegan apple pie for our Dallas Chapter! Each week we strive to provide our local volunteers with homemade vegan goodies.
If you are interested in volunteering, please fill out one of our volunteer forms here. Remember, it is not necessary that you know how to craft; if you are interested in learning, we would love to teach you at one of our weekly Craft-a-thons. Also, if you have a skill set that you’d like to donate, feel free to contact us here. We’d love to hear from you!
Last year, T.H.R.I.V.E. Association was able to provide 36 items to the Homeless Veterans Stand Down. We promised ourselves, and our community that we would continue to grow until the needs of every former service member was met. By continuing to recruit new, dedicated volunteers, we’re on our way towards reaching that goal. Way to go volunteers, we’re very proud of you!
On November 8, 2016, T.H.R.I.V.E. Association will distribute our collected handmade goods to the underprivileged military veterans. Please remember to send all wet blocked finished garments to our headquarters.
Summertime Progress
First, in keeping with our tradition, it’s time to introduce this week’s vegan treat- blueberry muffins, made by our IT guy, Torrey! In preparation for several upcoming events, our Chief Officer taught our lawyer, David, to knit and Torrey crocheted his first hat solo! Way to go guys! Finally, it has been a fantastic week for T.H.R.I.V.E. Association! We have been able to welcome more volunteers! Thanks to all of you out there for volunteering and helping to spread the word about our Organization! We really couldn’t do all this without your support.
