Association family! It\u2019s that time of year when our larger partners\u2019 Stand Downs are being held. They have larger homeless veteran communities that they serve, all of whom need our lovingly handcrafted gifts to see them through the colder temperatures. Getting the gifts to their destinations comes dear and we need your monetary support to help us to accomplish our mission. If you are able, please make a tax-deductible monetary donation. Shipping and delivering our gifts costs several hundred dollars per Stand Down, so every dollar really helps us accomplish our goals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">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. Let\u2019s keep that momentum going! Our goal is to end homelessness among our nation\u2019s veterans and their dependents and we can\u2019t do it without your support!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Happy Monday, dear T.H.R.I.V.E.
