Bringing dignity to Families

In 2008 the FreeStore served 210 families, which included 287 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!

 

A big thank you to everyone who helped make the spring 2009 "Fill the Mayflower" such a success.  We received over seven (that's SEVEN) tons of furniture and household goods for the FreeStore warehouse. 

 

All the FreeStore volunteers – and especially the families we serve – are very grateful to Select Van and Storage, Valley West Mall, and Children and Families of Iowa for the support they showed us. 

 

Thank you also to everyone who brought donations and gave money for the $$$ for Dressers project.
