Help us bring a FREE STORE to Dayton!
We are raising funds to help with a few startup fees and minimal monthly expenses (rent/utilities/etc.) for a space to set up a FREE STORE for our community!
How it will work:
Community members will be encouraged to donate items and/or shop for items (clothing, housewares, pantry items, toys, books, etc.) - Everything will be FREE, but you’ll be welcome to donate what you can to keep the volunteer-run operation going!
We hope to raise $15,000 before we sign a lease!
Thanks to Ohio Voice (our “fiscal sponsor”), your donations are tax-deductible as allowed by law. Please let us know if you need an in-kind letter for your donation by emailing us at GemCityAction@gmail.com.
Sign the petition for a Youth-Led Safe Space in Downtown Dayton
Dayton's youth deserves space where they can freely express themselves without judgment or fear. They deserve a platform where their voices and ideas are heard loud and clear. And it is our communal responsibility to provide these spaces to them. Sign this petition to support the establishment of a youth-led safe space in downtown Dayton, where the young can lead, learn, and influence in a positive and secure environment.
Make sure you are registered to VOTE!
The current Ohio Secretary of State and his office like to frequently purge voters, so please make sure you are registered to vote!
You may be discouraged from voting altogether, but may we please suggest that you get involved in the local level. Get familiar with the VoteOhio.gov website, attend your city’s commission meetings, meet the people running for office, ask questions and voice your concerns!
Your voice matters!!!
