THRIVING THREADS
Thriving Threads is Perry's clothing room, serving people who live, work, or worship in our community as well as alumni of the Perry Local Schools.
The clothing room was started in 1999 by the Perry Women’s League as a place where people could go and find clothing at no charge to them. Now, under the leadership of The Perry Center, their mission remains the same: to provide everyone who walks through the door with clothes that make them feel comfortable and confident so that they can thrive in school, at work, and in the community. |
|
We strive to create a positive experience for everyone who visits Thriving Threads. From the small things, like organization and style, to the big things, like making sure we have sizes for everyone in need, every little bit matters. Ultimately, if even one person feels excited and less stressed about getting dressed in the morning after visiting Thriving Threads, we’ve done our job.
THE CAPTAIN'S CLOSET PROGRAM
|
The Captain's Closet is a program that pairs elementary school students who are economically disadvantaged with Perry Service Learning volunteers for a shopping experience at Thriving Threads. Prior to shopping, volunteers will contact parents to find out the specific needs of each child. Then volunteers will walk to the elementary school, escort the child to Thriving Threads, and enjoy a shopping spree during off hours. Students will take one bag of clothing home the day of their shopping experience. Any additional bags will be delivered to the student's home. If you would like your child to participate in The Captain's Closet program please complete an online application.
