Located at 86th Street and Ditch Road, Thrifty Threads offers high end clothing for a good cause. The profits from this store directly benefit domestic abuse survivors.The Julien Center, founded in 1975 is an organization with the sole purpose of protecting and empowering domestic violence survivors.
According to Woods, there's many reasons why a survivor of domestic abuse may need new clothing or household items. Another importance, Woods says is often overlooked, is the freedom of choice that many survivors were not granted in abusive relationships. Empowering. Dignity. Woods uses these words frequently when talking about what Thrifty Threads stands for.
"One of the paintings we had, I can't remember the artist I wish I could, but when you walk into the Lily House at Newfields, and you see the portraits of like Ruth Lilly and all that, the same artist did other portraits and we ended up with one," Woods said."I think that was really one of the ones that blew me away."
One side of the store is apart of the National Council of Jewish Women. 50 percent of these profits go to the Julien Center and 50 percent go to scholarships and education in the community. Either way, event cent of a dollar spent is helping someone.
