“New Threads of Hope was great to work with during the Juvenile Products Manufacturers Association's Safe Sleep campaign during Baby Safety Month this September. The organization was able to help JPMA connect with children and families in need of essential items to help create a safe sleep environment including cribs, portable play yards, infant clothing and wearable blankets. It is with the support of organizations such as New Threads of Hope that JPMA can help babies sleep safely, survive and thrive.”

A great business decision...
...that also comes from the heart!
You want to reach out to those in need. The issue can be the ability--both financially and logistically--to do so. NewThreads provides a smart way to donate that not only enables you to give but also protects your bottom line.
Gift of Hope
On any given day, a child needs clothing for school, a recently laid-off parent needs clothes for a new job, or a senior on a fixed income faces the choice between buying food, medicine, or a warm blanket. A donation of the surplus or returned merchandise sitting in your warehouse right now can truly be a Gift of Hope – a gift that will make a difference in the lives of families struggling in your own community!
Inventory Management
NewThreads of Hope offers an easy way to free up warehouse space and reduce your overall costs. So you will not have to worry about surplus inventory monopolizing valuable warehouse space, NewThreads is on a virtual standby to accept all shipments of new apparel and softgoods. By the box or semi-trailer load – no gift is too large or too small. You can ship product as often or as infrequently as you deem appropriate.
Caring and Environmentally Responsible
NewThreads of Hope does more than just supply apparel and softgoods to people in need; there are environmental benefits as well. Overstocks, past-season lines, samples, and discontinued products are put to good use rather than adding to our landfills.
Tax Benefits
In addition to the good you will do, donating overstocks, samples, and past-season products can provide your company with a valuable tax benefit. By donating excess inventory, your company may qualify for a tax deduction of up to 200% of cost of goods! NewThreads can also assist you in conforming to IRS guidelines to ensure the maximum potential tax advantage. Additionally, to facilitate your tax reporting, NewThreads will provide you with printed or electronic statements summarizing and documenting your contributions.

Pre-screened Recipient Agencies
Rather than investigating multiple charities, NewThreads can be your one-stop shop for distributing your excess merchandise. NewThreads carefully reviews and screens all of our nonprofit partners-- hundreds of them--saving you time for researching charities and then deciding which ones to support. NewThreads is also happy to work with charities that you nominate. Your contribution and support to NewThreads can provide a child with a warm jacket to wear to school in winter, ensure that a mom has work appropriate attire as she proudly earns a living for her family, and help alleviate the impossible choice a senior may be forced to make between food or clothing.
Local & International Efforts
Our outreach efforts focus on support for local, national and international needs. Some of the local organizations we work with include: House of Peace, Lutheran Social Services, La Causa, Penfield Children’s Center, and AMVETS. Internationally, we help from Honduras to the Ukraine.
Marketing
Not only is supporting the local community the right thing to do, it’s also good business. NewThreads is eager to work with you to build community awareness about your generous contributionsand charitable giving.
Community Service
