We don’t take financial donations on our website at present. If you want to donate funds, please consider donating directly to a homeless shelter as The Street Store is purely based on clothing.
To ensure that your Street Store is a dignified experience for those in need, we recommend using clothing that has been gently pre-worn and is still in good, usable condition. Torn, damaged or heavily soiled clothing is not suitable.
We find that men’s clothing is always in high demand, especially smaller sizes, and men’s shoes, therefore we recommend that you aim to ensure adequate amounts of these items. We suggest calling this out in a campaign ahead of the donation period.
Be the difference today.
Your generous donation helps provide clothing to those in need, restoring dignity and hope.
