What is a free store?
A free store is like a thrift store, except everything is FREE! Shopping for the things we need and/or want is a liberating experience that allows for autonomy to find what we’re looking for. It removes the stigma of receiving donations and breaks down the hierarchical thinking of those who give and those who receive. Instead, we’re all participants in a community experience that benefits everyone. Plus, it’s fun!
DONATIONS ACCEPTED AT TARDIGRADE’S BOOKSHELF NOVEMBER 23rd through 28th!
HERE’S WHAT WE’D LOVE TO OFFER AT THE HOLIDAY FREE STORE:
New or gently used toys (all pieces included)
New or gently used coats, snowpants, and boots (child & adult sizes)

Gently used and clean winter clothing (sweaters, sweatshirts, jeans)
