Tiger Threads
Tiger Threads is a free client-choice clothing closet where community members can “shop” for up to two pieces of clothing each week. Members check in and out their items on the iPad using their TU ID number. Bags are provided, but bringing a reusable bag is recommended.
How it Works
Students, faculty and staff can receive up to two pieces of clothing from the closet per week. Those accessing the closet must show their OneCard before entering and complete a sign-out form before leaving. Bring a reusable bag or receive a brown paper bag for your items.

Benefits of Tiger Threads
Why do we offer a clothing closet?

- Supporting well-being — enhances students’ well-being by ensuring they have appropriate attire for various situations, boosting their self-esteem and confidence.
- Emergency support — provides essential clothing items to students affected by emergencies like fires or natural disasters, helping them regain a sense of normalcy during challenging times.

How to Donate
Pre-washed clothing donations are welcome anytime during The Hub’s open hours. The green donation bin is located on the porch. Please place items directly in the bin, or leave them neatly bagged beside it if the bin is full.
