So. Much. Stuff.

Those great shoes that are still new in the box. The gorgeous bag that just isn’t your style. Or the beautiful silk scarf from Great Aunt Ethel that never worked with your wardrobe. All these items can be put to excellent use by ThreadED.

ThreadED’s mission is to help students in need graduate from college. We do this by funding scholarships for some of the poorest students in Boston. To raise funds for scholarships, ThreadED sells high quality donated items through in-person and online sales. This process gives those items a "second life", generates funds for financial aid, and diverts clothing from landfills. Our goal is to both increase access to a college degree and reduce our collective footprint on the earth.

Un-fun fact: The typical Massachusetts college student is taking  on $22,081 in loans, the 2nd highest amount of debt per student in the country, to get their degree.
​
Meanwhile, Americans buy five times as much clothing as we did in 1980. Many of us have closets filled with great clothing, shoes, bags, often still with tags, that we are not using, but someone else would love to own. ThreadED helps people make wonderful, charitable use of those belongings. Click on our Donate Clothing page to see a list of guidelines and designers that we are able to sell most successfully.  Then call or email us to arrange a drop off or pick up!

​Give your high quality clothing a second life,
donate your time, make a gift online!  
​We are grateful for all your support.

Thanks and Goodbye to our 2018 Summer Interns!


​Summer goes by fast -it was true this year as we are saying goodbye and good luck to our great interns. Maimouna, Gabe, Danielle, and Maggie did everything at ThreadED - researched sales channels, developed outreach videos and materials, improved our website, wrote parts of our business plan... and priced a lot of clothing,  We could not continue to grow without this important influx of brain power and energy each year!
