April 22, 2026 (Oakland, CA. and New York, NY) – ThredUp (NASDAQ: TDUP, LTSE: TDUP), one of the largest online resale platforms for apparel, shoes, and accessories, today announced its partnership with Hungryroot. ThredUp will fuel the company’s Employee Closet Clean Out Program, a new extension of its Resale-as-a-Service® (RaaS®) platform. The personalized grocery and meal delivery brand redefining what it means to eat well with ease and intention, is among the early companies to introduce the program to its workforce.
This offering extends ThredUp’s RaaS platform, which currently powers resale solutions for more than 50 of the world’s leading brands including J.Crew, Tommy Hilfiger, and Madewell. While RaaS has traditionally focused on consumer-facing marketplaces and clean-out programs, this new initiative allows brands to deepen their commitment to resale, and engage their own employees in the circular economy.
“Hungryroot is on a mission to be every household’s most trusted partner in healthy living — using AI-powered personalization to make better food choices simple, affordable, and delicious. So it only makes sense that we bring that same spirit of making health easy to how we show up as a company," said Carolyn Frey, Chief People Officer at Hungryroot. "ThredUp makes it incredibly simple for our team to give their clothes a second life — and that kind of effortless, feel-good action is very on-brand for us. By making the Employee Closet Clean Out Program part of our culture, we're turning our shared environmental values into something real and measurable."
This employee perk program drives high engagement with a no-cost, turnkey solution that requires minimal ongoing effort, empowers employees to actively participate in circular initiatives, and provides measurable impact reporting to support ESG goals and brand storytelling.
How the Hungryroot Employee Program Works
By providing physical Clean Out Kits to Hungryroot’s New York home office, along with a dedicated online landing page for its nationwide workforce, the partnership ensures a seamless experience for all employees. Employees can fill a ThredUp bag, or generate a prepaid shipping label via their unique Hungryroot x ThredUp landing page, fill any box or bag with gently-worn apparel and accessories from any brand, and ship it to ThredUp for free. Once their items sell, employees receive a standard payout that can be used to refresh their wardrobe on ThredUp.com or cashed out directly.
