Find a Permanent Home for the Bushwick Free Store

Members of Bushwick Mutual Aid have been distributing hot meals and other items on a weekly basis at Maria Hernandez Park. Many of you have volunteered, dropped off your gently used items, and so much more.

Our experiences--and the looming environmental crisis--have illustrated the urgent need for a permanent walk-in free store/pantry. This will be a storefront within Bushwick, where, essentially, everything is free to everyone. No means testing.  Whether you are low income or trying to cut down on mass consumption to save the planet, this will be the place. Simply neighbors sharing.

We have outgrown the park as a distribution spot. We need more space and protection from weather. Please help us to secure a permanent indoor location.

Any donation of any amount will go a long way toward making this dream a reality.
