Bringing dignity to Families In 2009 the FreeStore served 258 families, which included 388 children!
Founded in 2001, the FreeStore provides household items and furniture free of charge to women when they leave the Children & Families of Iowa's Domestic Violence Services. We also provide these same items to needy families from other social agencies for a nominal fee.
The FreeStore is entirely run by volunteers, with NO paid staff. Volunteers are always needed to pick-up furniture, organize items in the warehouse, greet clients, help clients move furniture to their new apartments, and raise funds.
Thank You! Thank You! Thank you to everyone who helped with or donated to the 2010 “Fill the Mayflower” furniture drive. It exceeded all our hopes and we filled not one but TWO Mayflower vans. It was our greatest drive ever and you all made it happen.
