We’re Bringing a Free Store to Dayton!

Donate and/or shop for gently-used items like: clothing, housewares, books, toys, etc. Folks will be able to offer a monetary donation at checkout, but it is not required! We’ll also host many free community activities for ALL ages.

We hope to inspire people to think differently about sharing what we have collectively, as well as taking better care of each other (and our Mother Earth)!

NOTE: We are completely funded by community - Donations from YOU, whether physical or monetary, are what will keep our barrier-free store open for many years to come!

Please donate if you think this is a cool idea! Your name (or business) will appear on our website below and our future donor wall - plus your donation is tax deductible! Thank you!!!!!

DEMOLITION HAS BEGUN INSIDE!!!

We’re hoping renovations will be finished in the Fall of 2026!!!

NOTE: We are NOT able to accept physical donations yet!

Please consider donating your items to Essence of West Boutique at Dayton Metro Library West, Daybreak Dayton, Corner Cupboard, or Clothes That Work (to name a few).
