As for donations, the community has expressed a need for warm winter jackets, men’s and women’s clothing (specifically pants), backpacks, blankets, closed-toe shoes, bags, jewelry, and toiletries in good condition. Summer clothes, children’s clothes, books, and household items will not be accepted. The Street Store is also asking for additional fund donations to help cover expenses for PPE gear, venue, heaters security, operation costs, and ETE programming.
