Media FreeStore
Mission Statement
The mission of the FreeStore is to encourage the community to re-use, re-purpose, and recycle items no longer needed or wanted, by making those items available to others at no cost.
Who We Are
The FreeStore is an all-volunteer organization of people who believe that by offering a central location to share goods, we can further develop a sharing economy, not just of material possessions, but of ideas and connections.
Our Vision
Our vision is to create a deeper culture of community caring and sharing, and to help the environment by keeping unused or unwanted items out of landfills and incinerators.
The FreeStore grew out of the material abundance in our American culture. Three specific generosities allow our door to be open and shelves to be stocked:
Volunteers who staff the store; Community members who donate items to the store; Customers and friends who donate money to pay the rent and cover operating expenses via Cash, Venmo (@TTMFreeStore), PayPal/credit card.
