Welcome to
Our Operating Hub.
It takes a lot to keep Thread Up Oxford running. Uptown Threads and the Creative Reuse Space are supplied by our operational processing branch of Thread Up Oxford.
Our Operating Hub is built for processing all material donations to Thread Up Oxford and distributing them to each of our retail locations.
The majority of our volunteer network contributes to reducing textile waste by assisting us in processing textile donations.
Curious about Contributing?
We are always appreciative of an extra hand!
There are many ways to support our mission of reducing textile waste in our community.
Learn more about how you can help out below!
Please Note: Our Operational Hub is always accepting material donations through Thread Up Oxford. For more information, please refer to our Giving Guidelines.
We know that Thread Up Oxford is not always the answer. It is most of the time… But in the rare case that it’s not, take a look at some additional resources.
