We make donating easy.
You make it matter.

For more than 40 years, communities have trusted Common Threads as their donation service. We work with charities to make donating simple, transparent, and meaningful.

When you give through Common Threads, you’re not just donating gently used clothing and household items. You’re keeping good things in motion.

Every bag of clothing, every pair of shoes, every household item you share helps our charity partners raise essential funding while also keeping reusable materials out of landfills.

You’re giving your items a second life and helping communities thrive.

Our Mission

Weaving generosity and sustainability together

At Common Threads, we believe simple acts of giving can change everything. Each donation connects people, purpose, and planet. When you pass along what you no longer need, you help create opportunity for someone else and protect the environment we all share.

Your donations of gently used clothing, shoes, and household items fuel charities and reduce textile waste through responsible recycling. Together, we’re weaving a stronger, cleaner, more connected world, one donation at a time.

Our Impact

Simple acts, done together, create tangible change.

Because we work directly with trusted charities, your donations can help benefit real people and programs in communities just like yours. And by giving reusable goods a new life, you help keep thousands of pounds of material out of local landfills each year.

That’s the Common Threads difference: a donation that does double good, helping people while protecting the planet.

The Journey of Your Items

You Give with Intention

Schedule a free home pickup or drop off at one of the convenient donation stations. Every item you give begins a journey toward positive change.

Charities Turn Donations into Funding for Good

Our nonprofit partners sell donated items in bulk to help fund their missions that support veterans and their families.

Your Donation Goes Directly to the Charity Partner

We work on behalf of 501(c)(3) organizations. Every item you give goes directly to the charity you’re supporting.

Responsible Recycling and Repurposing

Keeping reusable items in circulation is the goal. Items that cannot be reused are responsibly recycled or repurposed into materials like industrial rags or insulation, extending their life and protecting the planet.

Why Common Threads?

With Common Threads, your impact stretches far. You’ll always know that your donation benefits the charity and that items are reused or recycled responsibly.

And because we offer free home pickups and convenient donation stations, doing good has never been easier. You clear space in your home, support charities, and create a cleaner community, all in one simple act.

That’s how Common Threads redefines giving: transparent and impactful from start to finish.

Let’s Make a Difference Together

When you donate through Common Threads, you’re joining a movement of people who believe that generosity can change lives.

We make it easy to give. You make it meaningful. Together, we’re keeping good things in motion, helping people, protecting the planet, and strengthening the communities people call home.
