Frisco Threads

OUR CLOTHES CLOSET TO BENEFIT FISD STUDENTS

Having proper clothing can boost student self-esteem. With support from schools, PTAs, community donors, and volunteers, Frisco Threads ensures that students are dressed for success throughout the school year.

In our first year, we were able to provide students with a wardrobe, once each semester, including tops, bottoms, dresses, underwear, and socks. Our students also were eligible to receive new athletic shoes, a coat, hat, gloves, and outerwear.

Thank you to the volunteers who worked with us on Monday workdays and Thursday shopping days. We welcomed volunteers from Council, local PTAs, ASPIRE, churches, the community, and Boosterthon.

Thank you to the student volunteers who completed offsite sorting! We loved giving these students the opportunity to serve other students in the district!

Thank you to our donors!
Our dream because a reality thanks to generous contributions from individuals and businesses in the community, and support from our schools who hosted clothing, coin, and shoe drives.

Thank you to Frisco ISD!
FISD allows Frisco Threads to operate at the Acker Special Programs Center, and connects us with local businesses and churches who want to support our mission with clothing and monetary donations.

FISD School Support Specialists were instrumental in connecting students in need with Frisco Threads, often shopping and delivering clothing to the students themselves.

We are excited to serve again next year!
We are expanding to provide more space for shoppers and clothing, and to serve more students.
