Youth in need must be referred by an informed adult, someone who is familiar with the situation. Personnel representing agencies, schools, group homes and regional treatment centers, as well as foster parents and other individuals are welcome to refer a teen to Austin Threads. The referral form is on this website. We need clothing and shoe size information to ensure a successful shopping experience for each and every youth.

We are by appointment only, Tuesday-Friday, between the hours of 9-5, with some later days. We have a small group of volunteers that provide a VIP experience for our teens.
