Volunteering with the Free Store
The Free Store runs entirely on volunteers! If you are in need of volunteer hours, want to contribute to a community mutual aid project, or simply just love the Free Store we could use your help. Volunteer roles include staffing Free Store pop-up markets, managing donations and inventory, helping with fundraising & promotion, and more - no experience is necessary, training will be provided. Questions about volunteering? Email us.
Niagara Free Store - Free Resources
Keep the Niagara Free Store running!
The Niagara Free Store currently is housed in a storage locker. Our goal has been to secure enough sustainable funding to pay for a permanent space where the Free Store can be accessible year round, a space to host workshops, a free meeting space for the community, and to expand our inventory to include furniture donations. If you can, please donate to help with Free Store costs!
Other organizations accepting donations
Disclaimer: Some organizations who provide items for free have active partnerships with the Niagara Regional Police. In order to ensure safety, we encourage anyone accessing these services to take the necessary precautions before doing so.
For organizations partnering with and pursuing partnerships with the NRP, we call on you to acknowledge the barriers, potential harm, and active harm that working with and promoting the NRP causes for users.
