At Empowered Threads, we are entering a season of transformation. As we renovate and reorganize our clothing closet program and welcome a new advocate, we ask for your patience during this exciting time of growth.

As we transform the program, we are thoughtfully balancing our current space limitations with the needs of those we serve today while preparing for future growth. As part of that growth, we are excited to soon begin accepting men's professional clothing donations, allowing us to expand our services and support even more members of our community.

Thank you for your continued support and patience as we create an even more welcoming, inclusive, and empowering experience for everyone who walks through our doors.
