Operation Care Package

The Pop-Up Care Shop is an interactive charity drive project. Partnering with different non-profit organizations, we collect donated goods and “set-up shop” to create a fun shopping experience for those truly in need. Items are nicely displayed in retail-fashion and shoppers get to thoughtfully pick out what they want. Our unique method rejects the standard of drop-off donations and brings the goods to the people directly and with style!

If you are new to The Pop-Up Care Shop, allow us to introduce ourselves! Each year, we produce a holiday pop-up shop at a women's shelter, transforming the space into a boutique of free clothes, coats, accessories, and toiletries. Items are nicely displayed in retail-fashion and shoppers get to thoughtfully pick out what they want. Our mission is to redeem the less fortunate with dignity, enjoyment, and, most of all, choice. So many unhoused people have faced hardship because of their loss of choice. Poverty and abuse can make anyone feel powerless, and many of the women we've worked with have face these painful realities. We aim to empower these individuals with the opportunity to choose. We've been in effect since 2016 and have done our annual Care Shop every year - with the exception of 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic. This year, in order to keep everyone safe, we are doing our Care Shop a little differently by offering clients Care Shop Bags filled with winter accessories, toiletries, and sanitary essentials.

Our venue is sponsored by New Women Space, a 2,100 sq. ft. community-led event space in Brooklyn, New York. All of its programming is led by self-identified women, POC, femme, queer, transgender and gender nonconforming individuals. "We envision a world where all people -- regardless of their color, culture, gender identity, expression or presentation -- are affirmed with dignity, respect and are given abundant access to the resources and opportunities they need to prosper and thrive. We envision this world to be free of the rigidity of white supremacist, heteronormative, capitalist, patriarchal systems of oppression and work to dismantle these structures through the resilient creation and proliferation of community spaces owned and operated by the people most directly impacted.Our mission at New Women Space is to create a vibrant and affirming community by inviting self-identified women, POC, femme, queer, transgender and gender nonconforming individuals to lead powerful in-person gatherings and start new, timely and critical conversations in an intentional space centered on personal and societal transformation."Learn more at : <a href="https://www.newwomenspace.com/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.newwomenspace.com/ </a>Follow on Instagram: <a href="https://www.instagram.com/newwomenspace/" target="_blank" data-msys-clicktrack="0" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">@newwomenspace</a>
