Team Tassy
Team Tassy prepares and places the poor into good,
dignified jobs, including jobs at Thread, so that they
can pull themselves out of poverty forever. In 2013,
Thread employees spent over 1,600 volunteer hours
providing expertise in strategic and business planning,
marketing, events planning, and services to Team
Tassy families in Haiti. As Thread continues to grow in
Haiti, Team Tassy will supply a qualified and trained
workforce for the various types of jobs that will
become available.
