FAQs
Here are some common questions about hosting a Street Store event.
When you take the pledge we send you a guidebook on how The Street Store works. That’s where a lot of questions will be answered. If you still have questions, feel free to get in touch.
If you read the guidebook it and decide against hosting a Street Store, it’s ok! You’re not obligated to hosting one.
Not at all! You are not obligated in any way.
The more Street Stores the better. Each one helps a different homeless community.
All of the posters are both in InDesign and PDF format. The PDF should always open, the InDesign files are for editing purposes.
If you don’t need to edit them, any printer can use the PDF to print. If you do need to edit them, either ask a friend with InDesign, or if the printer is kind enough, they can help too. If need be, you can send us the changes that you need to make and we can help you out as well!
This depends on how big the area is that you’re using. In a 50m space, we use 20 poster sets (hanger and shoe box) for male and 20 poster sets for female with a 4 or 5 informative posters in between.
Phone a few printers in your area – they can either help you or point you in the right direction. Sometimes they’ll even sponsor you, and then you can post about them on your official Facebook event.
You can find out everything you need to know about how to host a Street Store on our Host A Street Store page.
"Working on The Street Store has been fulfilling. Seeing how people survive on so little fills me with gratitude for making a difference. One memory stands out: a gentleman waited for hours, but we had run out of shoes. His tears when I told him we had none were unforgettable. Another memory is watching mothers and children choose what they want, their appreciation moving."
“The Street Store reminds me how enriching choice is. It brings a smile seeing shoppers excited about finding items that fit their unique style.”
