Free Store (Free Clothing Shopping)
​Wednesdays 11:30am-2:30pm & 4:30pm-6:30pm
(closed first week of each month)

On Wednesdays the Free Store is open for shopping for clothes, shoes, sheets/linens, and accessories. 

In order to create an enjoyable shopping experience, we have introduced some new procedures for shopping.

• The line starts at 11am. If you arrive before 11, we will ask you to leave and come back.
• At 11:30 you will be given a ticket and told your shopping times. Times are determined by a lottery, so there is no reason to arrive earlier than 11:30!
• At your shopping time, visitors are let in 3 parties at a time, and you have 10 minutes to browse. If you didn't have enough time, you must return to the line and get another ticket to come inside for another 10 minutes.
• To ensure there’s enough for everyone, each person is limited to 2 Fresh Direct bags of clothing per day.

If we don’t have an item you’re looking for, please let us know in person, by email, or on Instagram, and we’ll do our best to request the item from the community.
