Women leaving abusive relationships often sacrifice many of
their personal belongings in order to get themselves and their
children to safety. Clothing, furniture, and other necessary items
are left behind as these families seek to escape from an abusive
environment.
Recognizing their need, The Julian Center opened Thrifty Threads,
a thrift store stocked entirely by donations. Shelter residents
shop free-of-charge for clothing and household goods. Since Thrifty
Threads opened in 1997, it has provided more than 3,500 women
and children from the Shelter and other non-profit agencies with
the items they need to set up their new homes.
Volunteering at Thrifty Threads
Thrifty Threads also sells to the public and proceeds go to support
The Julian Center. We rely in good part on volunteer help to keep
the store operating. If you are interested in volunteering at
Thrifty Threads, call our Volunteer Coordinator at 317.941.2212.
