Please donate surplus quality clothing to The Street Store so that we can get it to those in need.

WHAT:
A one-day pop-up clothing store providing quality clothing freely to the homeless and others in need.

WHO:
For its 3rd year The Street Store will be hosted again this winter by the team from The Free Store, Wellington, a local non-profit daily redistributing quality surplus food from inner-city eateries to those in need.

WHY:
We are running this event because we know that winter is a difficult time for our friends who are homeless or living in inadequate housing. It can be cold and miserable!

HOW YOU CAN HELP:
In the lead up to the event we will be taking clothing donations from the general public. You are welcome to drop clothing at -

St Peters Church (211 Willis St)
Thurs 24th May-Weds 6th June
9am-6pm

WHAT DO WE NEED?
The majority of people that visit The Street Store are males (70/30 ratio). We would appreciate males step up to the plate to contribute their surplus clothing! Women's clothing is always welcomed though as it will surely go to a good home.

- Jackets
- Raincoats
- Pants
- Thermal underlayers
- Beanies & scarfs
- Long sleeved clothing
- Shoes & boots
- Sleeping bag
- Blankets
