What we do

At Community Threads, our mission is to serve the community by providing items of warmth, comfort, and dignity, handcrafted by our volunteers and clothing donated by our neighbors. Since our formation in November 2022, we've grown to over 100 members who contribute to the cause by sewing, knitting, or crocheting handcrafted items. These handcrafted items are provided to local families, shelters, schools, residential facilities, and other organizations, along with clothing donations, at no cost to the recipients. There’s no better feeling than making a difference in the lives of those in our communities. Together we can accomplish great things and touch many lives. Join us in making a difference.

Thank you for your generous donation of baby blankets. The new mothers will use the blankets to keep their new babies warm. We appreciate your support in helping Birthright care for both the mothers and their babies.

Thank you for our sensory gifts!

I want to thank you for your service to our community. Our Residents enjoy all the supplies you have given to us. We have formed activities on our calendar around your fidget mats and other sensory items.
