Association family! Spring is almost here, but that doesn\u2019t mean that there isn\u2019t still a need for our warm, handcrafted garments. There are still lots of Stand Downs coming up and we really need wheelchair blankets, hats, scarves, booties, and mittens to ensure that the needs of our homeless veteran community are met.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Please keep in mind that, as our name and mission suggests, we provide&nbsp;handmade&nbsp;goods to our nation\u2019s homeless veterans and their dependents. We put our love and goodwill into every stitch of every garment that we provide at our partner Stand Downs nationwide. On occasion, we do receive donations of purchased garments (whether knit or not) or offers of bulk-bought garments. We can\u2019t accept or use these garments. Purchased\/commerically-finished garments are lovely and they certainly have their place, but they aren\u2019t what we do. Our mission is to offer a hand up to our underprivileged military veterans and their dependents by \u201c\u2026<em>gifting hand-crafted goods.<\/em>\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The veterans and their dependents who receive our gifts at the Stand Downs really love and cherish the handmade aspect of the T.H.R.I.V.E. Association garment(s) that they choose. The feedback that we\u2019ve received through the years is that the handmade garments make them feel more loved and appreciated.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E.
