Once a month, Magena Morris, Tyler Bone and Nic White bring racks loaded with clothes into Charlotte’s (in North Carolina, the United States) largest homeless encampment and invite residents to shop at no cost.

The idea is to give residents of “tent city” the feeling of browsing at a normal store and spare them from having to dig through piles of secondhand apparel.
