Kayli Vee Levitan is a one of the Founder of ‘The Street Store’, an innovative initiative launched in January 2014 under the auspices of the M&C Saatchi Abel advertising agency. Together with Max Pazak, she envisioned a solution to bridge the gap between the haves and have-nots that often crossed paths without connecting.

Recognizing the disconnect between those with resources and those without, Kayli and Max sought to create a platform where both sides could interact with dignity and humanity.

The Street Store serves as a catalyst for connection, providing a space where the homeless can access items they both want and need, while simultaneously fostering empathy and understanding among the wider community.

Their vision for The Street Store transcends borders, as they made the concept open-source, allowing it to be replicated and adapted globally.

As a result, The Street Store has sprouted up in various locations, with over 800 pop-up events held worldwide and translations available in 16 languages. Through these efforts, hundreds of thousands of homeless individuals have been clothed, reaffirming the fundamental principle of shared humanity and mutual respect.

Congratulations!!
