About Us
What We Do
NewThreads links manufacturers and retailers and their surplus products, samples, returns, and past season lines with community-based social service agencies, schools and faith-based organizations.
We provide the warehousing, as well as volunteers for sorting, processing, and distribution services that make all these products usable and available to those who need them.
NewThreads does not make any direct distributions to individuals; rather over the years we have formed partnerships with hundreds of different agencies that reach out to a wide variety of people in need: single moms looking for work, the homeless, children living in poverty, refugees, victims of natural disasters, the mentally ill, foster families, seniors, and families and individuals just struggling to keep their heads above water in these tough economic times.
We sell nothing. It costs us about $0.05 cents on every dollar to do our job. All of our funds are from gifts and donations.
