Tiger Threads
The Tiger Threads clothing closet strives to create a welcoming and inclusive environment where students can find the clothing they need without the financial burden. Tiger Threads also aims to promote sustainable consumption patterns and waste minimization through the reuse and repurposing of clothing.
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.
