On Dec. 18, 2019, StreetWise celebrated the holiday season with our annual Christmas party and coat giveaway! The event drew vendors, job-seekers, and community members who gathered for a meal, lovingly prepared by Board Member Bruce Crane and StreetWise CEO Julie Youngquist. After the festive eats, StreetWise opened the doors to our shop, which features coats from drives all over the city including 46th Ward Ald.
