Our November Partner of the Month is Threads of Care. TOC “evolved from a young teen’s experience while visiting a large urban city. As a typical student, he witnessed a homeless man sleeping in an alcove during the Christmas season. This experience left a deep mark and he was inspired to help others. His vision evolved from a Winter Coat Drive in middle school and then again in high school, to a community outreach program for teens helping teens in need. Threads of Care is designed to inspire other teens in their local communities to get involved and make a difference by: creating awareness of teen homelessness, inspiring teens to give back to their communities, and providing easy steps for launching a high school outreach program.”
They have “served many teens with a warm coat and living supplies.” Their “dream is to spread this program to many other Tennessee communities by empowering teens to take ownership of the world around them. It only takes one helping soul to make the difference.
TOC aligns with Jumbled Dreams in so many ways, and it is only natural that we became partners. Through our JDs friends and the members of the club Echoes of Hope, we have been able to contribute thousands of articles of clothing to the Threads of Care cause. Thank you every one for your help and support.
