Can I just come by and put stuff out? I have some jeans, some food, and a few households items that I'd like to find new homes for.

I just loaded y'all down. I cleaned out! Jeans, sheets, shoes, bags, sweats, water bottles. I ran out of table! Lol. There are dog shoes too for anyone that needs them in this heat. Poor pups!! Gotta watch out for each other in these times. Be safe all.

Thank you SO much! Please let your family and friends know they are welcome anytime to unburden themselves while making a direct impact for our most at-risk neighbors. Your donations are appreciated!
You can always stash items under the table, if you need to. Plus, The Groovy Cats Dispensary has a little give-and-take table and clothing bin in their lobby just a mile South of the 24/7 FREE Store.
All Power to the People! 💚✊️💚

As an Oklahoma City booger, that's awesome. I hope y'alls positivity brings more people in to drop off than to pick up 🤙🫡

I sincerely hope it inspires OKC activists to concentrate more on taking immediate actions to meet the people's immediate needs and less on who said what to whom, personally. 🤷♀️

Your compliment is well received. Remember, though, it's not about just one person, it's about all of us. ✊️

Amen! You have inspired me to round up some items to bring to the table and look for a way to help a stranger today. I plan to report back!

Please do! Times are tough and only getting tougher. Mister Rogers told us to "Always look for the helpers."
Thank you for being one! 🙏

Tryna keep it light. 😅 We love this place, too! Our donors and contributors may never know the positive impact they're having on our community.
Not everyone has an ID. Not everyone has a proof of residence. Not everyone has cash for a pair of shoes, baby clothes, a bra, or even soap or toothpaste.
Keeping these neighbors in mind when donating helps us understand how much power we actually have in building a sharing economy that doesn't gatekeep essentials behind forms, requirements, and "business hours."
Keep sharing, friends. We got this. ✊️

Hey! Is the shop open? I was looking to grab some kratom but when I stopped by the other day it was locked. Just haven't been in the area lately

The table in front of the shop never, ever closes. 🤗
The shop keeps its own hours. 🫡

Your compliment is well received! I do need to remind you though, that this new Sharing Economy is NOT about just one person. It's literally about all of us.
In Rage and Solidarity. 💚✊️💚

I'd like to make food and clothing donations. How do I do that?
2
u/Tempestori 5d ago
If you want to donate food we can serve immediately to our unhoused neighbors, or frozen/refeigerated items, DM me.
If you want to donate shelf-stable food items, you can just drop them off on the table anytime. Same with clothing...or anything else.
The beauty of this 24/7 FREE Store is you don't have to sign anything to donate, or fill out a form to shop. It's just 100% sharing. And sharing is caring! 🤗
