I wandered through tables of vibrant handmade goods, admired the lush array of plants, and couldn’t resist taking home a delicious sponge cake.

Read the full storyIn a heartwarming display of generosity and community spirit, Thread Together recently rolled into Hinchinbrook with their mobile clothing van, offering brand-new clothing to anyone in need, completely free of charge.
Stopping at various locations throughout the shire, the initiative provided residents with access to high-quality, brand new, unworn garments donated by top fashion brands. Thread Together is more than just a clothing drive, their mission is rooted in dignity, choice, and environmental responsibility. By collecting end-of-line stock that would otherwise end up in landfill, they give these clothes a second chance and people a fresh start.
Run by passionate volunteers, Thread Together brings practical support and hope to disaster-affected and disadvantaged communities across Australia. Their presence in Hinchinbrook was a welcome relief to many, offering not only essential clothing but also a sense of care and connection.
The organisation’s motto, "new clothes for new beginnings," was brought to life here in our community halls' front lawns. Their work is a reminder that sometimes, a simple act of receiving a new jacket or a pair of shoes can make a world of difference.
Thank you to Thread Together and their dedicated volunteers for making a real impact in our region. Your kindness clothed our community in comfort, confidence, and a new wardrobe.
