Please donate surplus clothing to the homeless

Benjamin Johnson from The Free Store Wellington

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
