Everyone deserves to be clean, comfortable, and confident. But for thousands of unhoused neighbors in San Diego, access to basics like underwear or menstrual supplies is anything but guaranteed.

Threads of Dignity is more than a fundraiser—it’s a movement rooted in the belief that small items can restore something much bigger: dignity. Every pair of underwear, every hygiene kit, every moment of compassionate outreach is a thread that weaves together health, safety, and self-worth.

Through the Street Boutique program, Think Dignity distributes brand-new undergarments, period products and incontinence supplies, and personal care items to those most in need. But we can’t do it alone. The Street Boutique program is only made possible by the generosity of supporters like you being completely funded through individual donations.

As summer winds down and we prepare for the colder months ahead, we’re calling on you to stitch into the mission—whether by making a one-time gift, becoming a monthly donor, joining a fundraising team, or starting one of your own. Every act of generosity keeps the racks full, the outreach going strong, and dignity within reach.

Feeling Clean Means Feeling Confident

Every item distributed—every pair of underwear, every hygiene kit—is a thread that helps weave together self-worth, confidence, and health for our unhoused neighbors. Just like clothing, dignity is something we all deserve to wear. Stitch into the mission by donating to keep the racks full and the outreach going strong!

What Your Support Makes Possible

Over the summer of 2025, our Street Boutique distributed over 750 items to 445 unhoused neighbors at 9 pop-ups across San Diego County. Every item we distribute is more than a basic necessity—it’s a step toward restored dignity, health, and confidence.

In addition to our women-identified clients who "shopped" the Street Boutique so far this summer, we also distributed over 100 hygiene kits and socks to guests of all genders at Homeless Court Pop-Up events. No matter the amount, your generosity helps stitch together a tapestry of dignity for unhoused San Diegans. Because everyone deserves to be clean, comfortable, and confident, consider making a donation today!

Showing Up with Heart

This summer has been a powerful reminder of what community looks like in action. On June 24, 2025, our incredible volunteers showed up strong for a dual distribution day, bringing energy and compassion to two different sites. From setting up racks to one-on-one conversations with neighbors, volunteers ensured that everyone received the dignity-centered care they deserved.

On June 30, 2025, employees from Singleton and Schreiber rolled up their sleeves for a hands-on hygiene kit prep event. Their teamwork and enthusiasm helped assemble hundreds of kits filled with essential items, underscoring just how vital local businesses are to our mission.

Whether sorting supplies or writing notes of encouragement, these volunteers helped transform everyday actions into moments of hope and humanity.
