We bring our mission to life through thoughtfully designed service programs, offering free clothing to those in need. Through initiatives like Threads Direct, Care Closets, and Care & Couture, we provide essential support to students and families experiencing financial hardship or crisis. Additionally, our Catalyst Impact Fund helps small businesses recover from disasters, fostering long-term community resilience.
Explore each program below to see how we make an impact—and discover ways you can get involved:
Threads Direct
Threads Direct provides free, thoughtfully curated clothing to individuals and families in need, including those impacted by disasters or crises. Through partnerships with local organizations, schools, shelters, and community centers, we identify needs and distribute essential items like outerwear, shoes, and everyday clothing. This program ensures that recipients receive high-quality clothing in their time of need, helping to restore dignity, confidence, and a sense of care during challenging times.
Care Closets
Care Closets are on-site clothing collections located within schools, designed to meet the everyday clothing needs of students. We work with school staff to stock these closets with essential items such as uniforms, shoes, and weather-appropriate clothing. Staff members can discreetly provide these items to students as needed. Care Closets empower schools to support students by removing clothing-related barriers to learning. This fosters a sense of belonging, boosts confidence, and ensures students are ready to focus on their education.
Care & Couture
Care & Couture ensures high school students can participate in milestone events like prom and graduation by providing free formal wear. We collect and distribute formal attire through community donations, ensuring students have access to stylish, well-fitted options at no cost. By removing financial barriers, this program allows students to celebrate with confidence and pride, creating cherished memories and promoting inclusion.
Catalyst Impact Fund
The Catalyst Impact Fund provides financial grants to small businesses impacted by disasters or extreme circumstances, fostering recovery and resilience. Eligible businesses apply for grants, which are then used to repair, rebuild, or adapt their operations to new challenges. This vital funding not only helps businesses recover but also contributes to overall community revitalization. Strong local businesses create jobs, support families, and drive economic growth in affected areas.
