How to Get Involved

Your involvement in Thread Up Oxford means that we can do better for our community.

“Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.”

- Barack Obama

Give Materials

Processing materials is the bulk of our operation. We process all donations at our Operating Hub, which supplies both our Creative Reuse Space and Uptown Threads.

Giving Guidelines:

  • We take ANY CONDITION bug-free donations, except for the following:

    • Please DO NOT donate couch cushions.

    • Please DO NOT donate shoes.

  • Please DO use plastic bags or boxes.

    • Please DO NOT pack donations into paper bags as they will rip and your donations will get on the floor.

    • Please DO NOT overpack bags or boxes.

    • Please DO NOT bring in donations in a tub, laundry basket, or other container you want back. We keep the containers in which materials are given.

  • Please DO feel free to come in before giving if you’d like free bags and boxes to pack your materials.

  • Please DO put rags and clothes/other items in poor condition in a bag marked “rags”.

If donating a large amount of textiles, or planning on donating at a time not listed in our business hours, please contact us to schedule a time. Thank you!
