THREADTOGETHER
I n early March, AnglicareSA and Thread Together launched an exciting Australian first – mobile wardrobes delivering brand new clothes directly to people in need. Thread Together works in conjunction with clothing manufacturers to receive and sort brand new, end-of- line clothes for distribution through its charity partners. In collaboration, AnglicareSA and Thread Together will now use purpose-fitted mobile wardrobes to bring brand new clothes to South Australian communities who need it most. AnglicareSA CEO Peter Sandeman said new clothing made a huge difference in people’s lives, giving them back their dignity.
“New clothing, especially new clothing you choose for yourself, can be quite powerful,” said Mr Sandeman. “It gives people the opportunity to reframe how they feel about themselves and how they present themselves to the world." “We are delighted that with these two mobile wardrobes we can now get the clothing directly to those who need it most. It will make an enormous difference to the lives of so many children, young people, adults and families across our community who have been struggling.” The mobile wardrobes are now out on the road, initially delivering clothing to communities in the northern and southern Adelaide suburbs.
