PAYCE Foundation funds new mobile wardrobe
The PAYCE Foundation has announced a three-year sponsorship to support Thread Together’s life-changing work delivering clothing and dignity to people in need across NSW.
PAYCE Foundation Director Dominic Sullivan, PAYCE Foundation Director Sophie Boyd and Thread Together CEO Anthony Chesler.
The $190,000 commitment will fund the lease of a new mobile wardrobe, ensuring thousands of vulnerable individuals continue to access brand-new clothing during times of hardship.
The purpose-built van will visit crisis accommodation services, women’s refuges, recovery centres, community hubs and regional communities, providing dignified, choice-based clothing support for people experiencing homelessness, escaping domestic and family violence, seeking asylum, or recovering from natural disasters.
PAYCE Foundation Director Dominic Sullivan said the partnership aligned with the Foundation’s mission to support practical, impactful community solutions.
“Thread Together’s work is simple and powerful – providing brand-new clothing to people doing it tough and restoring dignity at a time they need it most,” Mr Sullivan said.
“We are proud to continue our support for such an innovative program that brings help directly to communities. This investment ensures essential services can reach more people, more often, right across NSW.”
Thread Together CEO Anthony Chesler welcomed the renewed partnership, saying the support will have a direct and meaningful impact on communities facing hardship.
“We are incredibly grateful for the PAYCE Foundation’s ongoing commitment,” Mr Chesler said.
“The mobile wardrobe is one of the most effective ways we deliver clothing to people in crisis. This funding ensures we can keep getting quality clothing into the hands of people who need it most – with dignity, choice and compassion.”
Since launching in 2012, Thread Together has rescued millions of new fashion items from landfill and redistributed them to people in need through partner charities and mobile wardrobes.
The PAYCE Foundation has been a long-standing supporter of Thread Together, previously supporting a program to assist women in children who had been victims of domestic violence.
