For the last eight years, The Daily Planet, Ltd. has teamed with StreetWise and local artists to make hand-screened designer T-shirts and other merchandise to sell. This year, over 36 artists donated designs. It’s all part of a campaign called GiveAShi*t. 100% of the profits go to StreetWise. To date, GiveAShi*t has donated over $400,000 to StreetWise.

“People in Chicago are always looking for different ways to give back to those in need and GiveAShi*t offers a chance to buy meaningful gifts for friends, family, and yourself while supporting the hardworking vendors of StreetWise,” said Scott Marvel, president of Daily Planet Productions and mastermind behind the GiveAShi*t campaign. StreetWise helps homeless and at-risk individuals seeking to build a better life with employment opportunities. It provides a dignified means of addressing the crisis of poverty and homelessness, and provides individuals with immediate access to a respectable and legitimate earned income through their own hard work. Well known on the streets of Chicago, StreetWise vendors make their own way to the StreetWise office where they pay $1.15 for the magazine they then sell for $3, making a $1.85 profit on each sale.

The shirts can be purchased online at www.giveashirt.net on tank tops, tote bags, notebooks, coffee mugs, posters and hand towels.

StreetWise provides Chicagoans in need with “a hand up, not a handout.”

StreetWise creates employment opportunities for individuals who are homeless or experiencing poverty. Anyone who wants to work has the opportunity to move themselves out of crisis.

How it all began...

It’s hard to believe that 30 years ago on Aug. 24 , 1992, the first edition of StreetWise hit the streets of Chicago. Our founder, Judd Lofchie, developed a practical solution to the crisis of homelessness in Chicago. The idea was simple: give homeless men and women a chance to gain economic selfsufficiency, personal dignity, and to help themselves by selling a newspaper to earn an income rather than begging. More than 350 homeless men and women purchased and sold more than 60,000 issues of StreetWise within the first 5 weeks! Selling StreetWise is a job. Our vendors are self-employed entrepreneurs.

Our success is due to the commitment, dedication, and persistence of our StreetWise vendors. They go out each day to greet you – their loyal customers. It is because of your support that our vendors can pay rent, utilities, purchase food and clothing, and even save some money.

STREETWISE M AGAZINE

StreetWise magazine is an award-winning publication that is socially conscious and Chicago-centric. It raises awareness of the impact of poverty and homelessness in Chicago, across the nation, and around the world. StreetWise is among the largest “street papers” in the United States and serves as a model for street papers across North America. The editorial staff works hard to provide intriguing articles about today’s important issues as well as entertaining articles to enhance the reader’s daily life.
