What is Thread Talk?
Thread Talk is a proud Certified B Corporation that crafts cozy throw blankets with a purpose bigger than just comfort. These blankets aren’t just soft and warm—they’re a symbol of hope and change. Every blanket sold helps raise awareness and supports domestic violence survivors. How? By donating 10% of all sales directly to domestic violence shelters. So, when someone shops with Thread Talk, they’re not just getting a cozy blanket—they’re giving comfort and support to those who need it most.

- 10% of every purchase is donated to domesticshelters.org
- Funds critical wish-list items for over 2,600 shelters nationwide

Supporting Survivors in a Real Way
Survivors of domestic violence often escape with nothing but the clothes on their backs. They turn to shelters that offer safety, support, and a fresh start—all free of charge. Thread Talk’s donations help keep these shelters running and stocked with what they truly need. Instead of just donating blankets, 10% of each purchase goes toward specific wish-list items like toiletries, laundry pods, vacuums, cribs, and strollers. This thoughtful approach ensures that the support is practical and impactful.
Rising Need in Challenging Times
The Covid-19 pandemic brought a significant rise in domestic violence cases, making the work of shelters more critical than ever. Thread Talk’s contributions help these essential spaces stay open and ready to assist survivors during these tough times. It’s not just about comfort—it’s about survival, rebuilding, and hope when it’s needed most.
Community and Advocacy
Thread Talk also works closely with County Commissioners to proclaim a powerful day honoring domestic violence survivors across the country. This advocacy highlights the importance of awareness and community support, shining a light on the strength and resilience of survivors nationwide.
