Southern Adventist University Hosts 'Street Store' 1/19

From a media release:

On Monday, January 19, Southern Adventist University is hosting a “Street Store” in downtown Chattanooga from 10:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. in partnership with the Salvation Army. Street Stores are sidewalk pop-up shops that offers free clothes to the homeless, providing them with a dignified shopping experience as they try on and select their own garments. More than 4,000 individuals experience homelessness each year in Chattanooga alone.

Approximately 50 Southern students, along with Salvation Army staff, will be volunteering at the event to assist with clothes and hand out free lunches for the “shoppers.” To watch a video about Street Stores, visit www.youtube.com/watch?v=QDw0JtwQU8A.
