SERVICES

FREE STORE

Providing hope, dignity, and respect through the best shopping experience money does not have to buy.

***The Free Store will be closed from August 5 - September 10th due to the S.H.O.E.S. Program.

S.H.O.E.S.

Inspiring confidence, physical fitness, and acceptance by providing a new pair of back-to-school shoes to elementary children.

About Us

We do our best to make the Free Store feel like a any other store, we just left the cash register out of the floor plans!

Our Children's section is our number 1 need. Please consider a donation of clothing or toys to help the children in Kent County.

Every year we give away thousands of new shoes to children starting school. The program (S.H.O.E.S.) partners with 37 elementary schools with at least 75% of the student population on the Free or Reduced Lunch Program. If they are having trouble paying for food, imagine how difficult a new pair of shoes might be.

Shoes Help Our Elementary Students or S.H.O.E.S. was started in 1996 and has helped over 50,000 children!

Clothing, housewares, furniture, and appliances are available to those in a crisis situation in the Free Store.

"Thank you In The Image! I moved out of a shelter into my own apartment - now I have furniture because of your Free Store!" ~ Client, homeless for 3 years
