World’s 1st rent-free, premises-free, free pop-up store for those in need, clothing well over 1 million people to date. SA social change initiative gone global.
The past few weeks, hundreds of volunteers across South Africa came together to bring The Street Store to life. From setting up, to welcoming guests with dignity and care, every act of generosity made a difference.
Thank you to every volunteer, host and donor who showed up. ❤️
