Free Store

FREE STORE DONATIONS ACCEPTED ON TUESDAYS 9 a.m. to 4 p.m.
and by special appointment by calling (269) 532-4912

The Free Store is able to accept donations of clothing, accessories, shoes, toys, personal care items, housewares/kitchen, sports, jewelry, and collectibles. Donations must be in clean, reusable condition. We cannot take large furniture, mattresses or any broken, soiled items. To expedite processing (all handled by volunteers), kindly sort clothing into Men’s, Women’s, and Children’s categories, with items clean and folded.

Donations for the Free Store can not be dropped off at the pantry or during pantry distribution due to volunteer and capacity limitations.

Our inventory usually includes:

    • Clothing for adults and children, sorted by size
    • Footwear
    • Jackets and winter clothing, snow pants, gloves, mittens, hats, etc.
    • Baby/toddler diapers and wipes
    • Kitchen small appliances, dishes, utensils, etc.
