Leadership - San Antonio Threads

Board of Directors

San Antonio Threads is an organization that provides NEW clothes, shoes and personal care items for FREE to referred, at risk youth ages 12-21 in the greater San Antonio area. We target teens who are currently in or have been in the foster care system. We, as the Board of Directors, are committed to providing volunteer hours, the strategic leadership and fundraising support necessary to ensure the continuing success of San Antonio Threads.

Cathy Hamilton

San Antonio Threads
CEO and Founder

San Antonio Threads was born out of Cathy Hamilton’s experience as a Court Appointed Special Advocate (CASA) where she witnessed the indignity of teen girls selecting used clothing from a barrel.

Cathy recognized an unmet need and created a retail-like environment where our community’s often-forgotten teens in foster care can shop for NEW clothes, shoes and personal items for FREE. Thus, the formation of San Antonio Threads! “Ms. Cathy,” as the youth call her, has worked tirelessly for over three years to bring her concept to full reality.
