Our Story

Threads of Change was created in 2017 by two foster moms with one idea. Angelic Horne Co-Founder and Executive Director of Threads of Change and her husband Cory started fostering in 2015. Their intent was fostering teens having teens already at home. When they got the first call for two toddler girls they couldn’t bear to say no. Having nothing for toddlers and having to go pick up the girls right away, Angi reached out to her sister Laura. Laura had clothes and toys at the house before the girls even got there. Much to Angi and Cory’s surprise there would be a newborn sister soon placed with the girls. Again being unprepared for a baby but wanting to keep the sisters together Angi reached out to her friend Trish. Trish and her husband having already adopted from foster care, asked around to friends and soon all the needed items arrived at the house.

This gave Angi an idea. How many other foster families are out that just can’t say no to one more sibling or to the child that is outside the age/gender they were open to? How can we support each other? Angi started to meet some other foster mom’s and soon an idea of two Foster mom’s became Threads of Change.

This process was started in 2017 when they really started to make this happen. They received a tremendous amount of support from volunteers and donors. At one point they received three storage units donated to Threads of Change to hold all of the items for the foster children they helped. By Fall 2018 they were out growing the shipping lockers and were able to move into a real store! Threads is now a permanent location where foster parents can ‘shop’ (free of cost) for clothing, toys, books, furniture and other items their child needs.
