Rethreaded, a gift company that transforms upcycled materials into handmade products created by survivors of human trafficking. One new item is the Cat’s Best Friend Mouse, made locally from upcycled fabric, T-shirts, leather and organic catnip inside with a long tail to play with.

Every purchase and donation directly helps survivors with employment, counseling and career development. Rethreaded is part of an effort to build infrastructure that rethreads the lives of survivors and educates the public so that trafficking cases no longer go unseen.

Founder Kristin Keen says, “Specifically, our mission is to harness the power of business, time and community to create choices for 500 survivors of human trafficking by 2033.”
