FEED FIVE FAMILIES
In Pennsylvania, 1.4 million people are facing food insecurity, and, of this number, 383,520 are children. It’s our pleasure to provide a bag of groceries to help supplement their needs. We will provide you with a reusable shopping bag along with a list of exactly what you can put inside the bag. $225 will feed five families ($45 retail value per bag).

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I purchase new toys to donate?
Because we purchase toys in bulk, we’re able to buy them at a deeply discounted cost, allowing each dollar to go even further. If you’d like to shop together as a family and choose items to donate, we encourage you to consider shopping for a food bag for a family instead.

Can I donate used toys?
Threads Clothing Boutique will gladly accept donations of used toys at Christmas and all year long.

Can we serve together as a family or as a small group?
Absolutely! There are several spots within the serving registration where you can serve together.
