Re-Thread Clothing Services
At Re-Thread Clothing Pantry, we believe clothing tells a story, and every piece deserves a second chapter. In our welcoming, dignified space, families, students, and individuals can shop free of charge for high-quality apparel that fits their needs and lifts their spirits. Parents find relief knowing they can exchange outgrown clothes for their children, while college students on tight budgets discover a better way to refresh their wardrobes and stretch their resources. Beyond clothing, we also provide essential harm-reduction items to support the health and safety of every client. Re-Thread isn’t just about clothing—it’s about community, care, and creating cycles of dignity where nothing goes to waste and everyone walks away with confidence.
Shopping at Re-Thread Clothing Pantry
The clothing pantry at Mainspring is open Tuesdays and Thursdays, 10:00am–1:00pm. Please arrive before 12:30pm so you have enough time to shop.
