Project snapshot

The Free Store Project bridges the gap between those with nothing and those with too much. It provides a place that encourages kindness and unity in the community by offering free clothing, housewares, art, music, books, electronics, toys, food, pantry items and more to anyone who needs it. The aim is to build faith and community where they no longer exist, while tackling economic disparities. This project is an altruistic approach to creating a better future for everyone through shared resources and community involvement.
