Meet Ross Mitchell, a man on a mission! As the operations manager at Thread Together, he takes to the road for up to two months a year, delivering brand-new clothing to those in crisis across Australia.
His latest trip took him to North Queensland, a region devastated by record-breaking flooding that destroyed homes and uprooted families.
With 6 feet of rain in just days, the situation was dire! 🌧️ #Floods #CommunityAid
After assessing the damage, it became clear that clothing was one of the biggest needs.
Many people returned to find their wardrobes ruined, having escaped with barely the clothes on their backs.
Ross and his team set up mobile wardrobe stations, offering 25,000 units of brand-new clothing to those affected.
The impact? A boost of confidence and dignity for women and men ready to rebuild their lives.
The emotional stories are profound.
One elderly woman couldn’t believe she was wearing a $340 puffer jacket.
Ross reminded her, “The value is that it’s on your back now.” 💖 #Inspiration #Humanity
Thread Together is about more than clothing; it’s about restoring dignity and hope.
As the need grows with climate change, so does their commitment to communities in distress.
Together, we can support those needing a helping hand! 🤝💚 #ClimateAction #SupportNow
