The Street Store

The Street Store The Street Store, the world’s first rent-free, premises-free, free pop-up store for those in need, clothing well over 1 million people to date.

South African social change initiative gone global.

Every country has a lot of have-nots. But also has a lot of haves. But how do we remind the haves, that the have-nots need help? We need a middle ground, so we’re taking to the street. The Street Store. Made just out of posters, you hang up donated clothes and drop shoes into boxes, then the homeless help themselves

Because you have something the homeless don’t; clothes you choose not to wear.

Your ex gave you a jersey and you still kept it…when they didn’t keep you? Tune in to donate to The Street Store because letting it go looks good on you.

Shoutout to the jeans that carried us during ‘that’ phase but since you got your glow-up you’ve forgotten about the ones that held you down. It’s time to donate to The Street Store because letting it go looks good on you.

You tried the running clubs and gave up after the first day. Some things aren’t for everyone. We think you should donate to The Street Store because letting it go looks good on you.

You may wonder what happens at the Street Store. Get a feel for how the Street Store runs on the day, from ‘Hi’ to ‘Bye’!

This is an example of a typical Street Store.

Sometimes we are fortunate to partner with companies and organisations that allow us to provide people in need with food.

So our guests leave with food and fresh clothes!

Over the past few weeks, something remarkable happened across South Africa. From Braamfontein to Bloemfontein, Cape Town to Durban, Edenvale, Midstream, Meyersdal, Langeberg and beyond, hundreds of volunteers came together to bring The Street Store to life.

They packed boxes. Sorted donations. Built stores from the ground up. Hung clothing on rails before sunrise. Welcomed guests with warmth and dignity. And reminded us that meaningful change happens when communities show up for one another.

To every volunteer, host, donor and partner who made these Street Stores possible — thank you.

These moments belong to you. This is what The Street Store has always been about: people helping people, one act of generosity at a time.

More Street Stores are on the way. Follow our journey and stay tuned for updates.
