Dear Community,
611 Free Store thrives with one core belief: center the shopper’s experience while helping offset everyday expenses.
We provide an organized, welcoming space where neighbors can find clothing, household goods, and essentials, while supporting one another through shared resources.
What comes in moves quickly back out into the community. Shopping appointments consistently fill. People regularly reach out asking when new dates will open. The need is steady, and the model is working having already served over 350 shoppers and their families.
We now face an important turning point and need your financial help to raise $6200 by April 1.
To stabilize 611, we need to secure three months of rent and purchase durable equipment, totaling $9200. We have already received $3,000 in seed funding from caring donors and know generous donors like you can help us reach our goal.
Our fundraising goal is $9200 to:
- Secure three months of rent
- Cover utilities
- Purchase durable tables, shelving, and clothing racks
This GoFundMe campaign is being launched to raise the remaining funds needed to secure this next chapter.
611 is not institutionally funded. It exists because this community chooses to sustain it.
If you believe we all benefits from practical, community-powered solutions like 611, we invite you to contribute and share the campaign.
This is a moment to decide what kind of community we want to be. 611 is working. It is used. It is needed. With your support, it remains here.
With gratitude,
Fuschia Winston
