The Good News: Humanity, A Store For People Experiencing Homelessness
There is a new shop in Denver today. It's called Humanity, and it was brought to life by the group Impact Locally.
Humanity is a clothing (and other supplies, like toiletries and backpacks) store for people who are experiencing homelessness.
"Humanity will feature a fitting room and clothing off the racks that will range from street wear and cold-weather outfits to more formal interview attire. No payment is required, though Impact Locally, the nonprofit behind the effort, says that any donations will go back into its programs and services (which also include things like providing sack lunches, haircuts and laundry services to the homeless throughout the Denver metro area)."

Humanity will be open Tuesday through Thursday from noon to 5 pm, and requires no documentation from the people who shop there.
From the CBS article: "'Something that has really bothered me for years is the idea that people have to shop in a parking lot if you are homeless,' Smith said."
At Humanity, they can look around and try things on, like any other shop. The shop will also be able to help connect people to services.
