Our Story

It all started when two guys in Maryland, John and Tom, had a conversation about peace.

"People get upset over the smallest things," said John. "Sometimes those little things turn into really big things."

Tom agreed: "We should create a way to remind people that we're all part of the same human family…and that other things - like a smile - can change the world for the better."

That's when Threads of Peace was born.

All profits are donated to support positive, non-political organizations that are doing big things to foster peacefulness of mind, body, spirit and global community.

Each of us has the power to become a thread of peace - in our hearts, our homes, our neighborhoods and our world - creating a fabric of hope, unity, understanding and respect within our human family. Whether you volunteer to coach or tutor a troubled teen, help build a home for someone in need, deliver food and clothing to a battered women's shelter, work to resolve conflicts among people of different races or religions - or participate in countless other acts of humanity - you are one of many vital threads of peace.

Peace starts from within. And it's also contagious. It is spread through the simplest of acts in the everyday moments of our life.
