Every Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday in Braddock is known as Free Store Day.
Founded by Gisele Fetterman, the wife of Mayor John Fetterman.
Gisele is a very positive person who is always ready for a hug and positive word of encouragement to everyone she meets.
I have the honor of being a very good friend of this positive young woman.
Anyone can shop here regardless of income. Everything is free people always donate in large numbers.
The Rules of the Free Store are
Take only what you need
Give what you can
Pay it forward
Recently I was homeless and lost everything. I relied on the Free Store and Thrift stores to furnish my house and get my clothes back.
I recently realized my Spring Clothes are gone so every week I go to The Free Store and shop.
In the event of local fires where the people lost everything they are a big help.
The whole idea of not wasting in a world where folks are throwing everything away is refreshing.
It's staffed by volunteers and they are housed in a shipping Container turned into a nice friendly place.
If your interested in Volunteering or donating to The Free Store here is the information.
