History
Community Threads began as a response to the people in need in our area, our community. This store is a source of funds to a network of christian charities that feed and clothe the homeless, shelter struggling families and abuse victims, bring education to children that may be denied it otherwise, provide recovery programs for addictions, and helping those around us who just need some help. It is our mission at Community Threads to provide our customers with quality merchandise at low prices and turn that money into grants that serve those in need. We started of in a modest store in Buffalo Grove and have grown into our new location in Arlington Heights. Over our first three years in business we have not only grown but have been able to give away nearly half a million dollars, and we look to give away much more in the future!
