FROM THOSE WHO HAVE TOO MUCH, TO THOSE WHO HAVE TOO LITTLE.
Thread Together was founded in 2012, based on the simple idea to donate rather than dispose of unsold clothing.
Our founder, Andie Halas, saw the potential for unsold new clothing to be given to people in need, whilst also protecting the environment by saving these items from landfill.

At Thread Together, we believe clothing is a basic human right.
Every year, millions of brand-new clothing items go to waste, while at the same time, thousands of Australians experience hardship without access to essential clothing. We exist to bridge this gap—delivering dignity and hope, one outfit at a time.
Since our founding in 2012, we have redirected millions of new garments from landfill to people who need them most. With the help of our network of volunteers, corporate partners, and fashion brands, we provide a sustainable solution to both fashion waste and clothing insecurity in Australia.
WORKING TOGETHER TO CREATE CHANGE
We partner with leading fashion brands to rescue new, excess clothing and distribute it to people in need—free of charge. By working with registered charities, we ensure that new clothing reaches those experiencing crisis, homelessness, domestic violence, natural disasters, and other hardships.
