Non-profit charity organisation Thread Together will open a permanent Clothing Hub at Lismore Showgrounds to help the community affected by the recent flooding in the region.
The new Clothing Hub will be the largest store yet set up by the organisation and will sell a range of new menswear, womenswear, shoes and accessories and a wide selection of childrenswear which will be made at no cost to the recipients. Thread Together CEO, Anthony Chesler said that the company was inundated with requests for clothing in the flood-affected areas.
“It soon became apparent that a permanent Clothing Hub was required in the Lismore region. This Clothing Hub will help people who have lost everything, to importantly, give them choice to access new clothing and to assist in restoring their dignity,” said Chesler.
The brand’s corporate sponsor, logistics company Toll, will help facilitate moving thousands of clothing, accessories and shoes to the region weekly. The inventory will also be updated based on feedback and demand in respective categories.
