Welcome to the Niagara Free Store!
The Niagara Free Store operates pop-up markets where we give out clothing and household items for free to everyone, no paperwork or questions asked.
We believe that everyone should have access to the things they need for free.

Help the Free Store get a permanent Space!
The Niagara Free Store currently is housed in a storage locker paid for by OPIRG Brock, which is a primarily volunteer-run nonprofit organization. For years, our goal has been to secure enough sustainable funding that we can pay for a permanent space where the Free Store can be accessible year round, and where we can also host free workshops, free meeting space for organizations, arts, and unions, and expand our inventory to include furniture donations.

Other organizations accepting donations
Many organizations who provide items for free have active partnerships with the Niagara Regional Police Service. In order to ensure greater safety, we encourage anyone accessing these services taken as many precautions as they feel are needed around policing before accessing these services.
For organizations partnering with and pursuing partnerships with the NRPs, we call on you to acknowledge the barriers, potential harm, and active harm actively working with and promoting the NRPs causes for current and future service users.
