Support pop-up Street Store
Clothing, accessories, toy donations and volunteers are needed.
THE annual Street Store in Durban takes place on Friday, 16 June and everyone involved is gearing up for another remarkable day of dignified shopping for the materially poor.
Grace Family Church and Grace Aid, in partnership with the Denis Hurley Centre, will host the Pop Up Street Store from 8.30am to noon at 2 Cathedral Road in the Durban CBD (Denis Hurley Centre).
Grace Family Church asks for donations of like-new clothing, shoes and accessories for all ages, as well as non-battery operated toys for children.
Collections can be dropped off at the Grace uMhlanga, Riverside or Ballito church campuses. There will be a huge shipping container, sponsored by Container World, based at Grace uMhlanga and the target is to fill it to the brim with donated clothing.
Key sponsor, JAM Clothing, will also have drop-off boxes at select stores around Durban, Hillcrest, Amanzimtoti, Crescent and Smith street.
On the day of the Street Store, clothing is hung up and displayed for shoppers to browse and select what they need and like.
“The focus of the Street Store is to give dignity as people choose their clothing, enjoy a meal, have their hair cut and are blessed by volunteers whose sole aim is to let each person know they are significant and welcome,” said Dave Richter of Grace Aid.
The Durban Street Store is an event that brings people together and extends hope and generosity to those in need.
