Pamphlets were handed out to several slums in Bhubaneswar in advance and announcements were made on 92.7 big FM to spread the word. Preparations for the event had started a month back. A strong team of 150 members from the Social Responsibility Cell of XIMB, XUB collected clothes from students as well as the local crowd, and then sorted through the clothes, segregating them according to the type of clothing. The stall was divided into different sections where the different types of clothes were displayed. Those who liked a particular piece could then get a token at the counter and exchange the token for the garment of their choice. Additionally, an eco-friendly paper bag was given with each garment. All the hangers and the paper bags were designed and put together by the team. The Street Store organized at XIMB truly experienced the ‘Joy of Giving’ and brought smiles on several faces this Sunday.

The Social Responsibility Cell of XIMB, XUB has organized several events in the past for children, physically challenged, and also campaigns for raising awareness for a cleaner and greener India. It is also actively involved in ‘Young Adult Education’ and several similar campaigns to educate the less fortunate.
