CHICOBAG™ AND THE GRATEFUL THREAD

In the mid 19th century, women of the coal mining towns of Northeastern Pennsylvania would weave and sew to help support their families. Today, women at The Grateful Thread weave and sew to support victims of domestic violence.

The Grateful Thread is a business initiative of Schuylkill Women in Crisis which serves Schuylkill County, Pennsylvania. Your purchase of their products not only provides funds to support services, but also provides job training opportunities to victims of domestic violence and others re-entering the work force.

ChicoBag™ and The Grateful Thread both support the environment by offering many products made from 100% recycled materials. Donated fabrics and other materials are woven, knit and crocheted into colorful textiles which are then incorporated into everyday products such as totes, handbags, aprons, placemats, rugs, and more.

ChicoBag™ has formed a unique partnership with The Grateful Thread to repurpose reusable bags that are no longer functional. All  reusable bags ChicoBag™ receives that have reached the end of their useful life are donated to The Grateful Thread and repurposed into new products that are for sale on our website. We do not mark up any costs on these products and 100% of the proceeds are sent back to The Grateful Thread.
