Threads of Hope is a ministry of Ware's Chapel UMC in partnership with Bright Futures of Beaufort County. We provide new and gently used clothing for students in need in the Beaufort County School System.
Requests for clothing are received through BCS Guidance Counselors and Social Workers using the Bright Futures platform for communicating needs. When a referral is made on behalf of a student, we do our best to fill the need within 48-72 hours, using both donations of clothing given to Bright Futures through community response, and our closet which is regularly organized and restocked.
Each child receives a basic bag of clothing to include a minimum of:
- 3 pairs of pants
- 5 shirts
- 7 pairs of underwear
- 7 pairs of socks
- 1 pair of tennis shoes
- 1 hoodie or jacket
