👕 Oberlin Free Store for Kids • Thank you for an outstanding first full year!
Thank you for an outstanding first full year as the Oberlin Free Store for Kids!
As an all-volunteer collective, we opened in October 2024. In 2025, we counted 1,696 shoppers in our store who took home 2,880 bags of clothing, toys, and books. We received over 3,000 bags of donations this year.
Our 500+ volunteer hours only account for the time we spent in the store. But our dedicated volunteers— caregivers, community members, and students from middle school to college—worked far more behind the scenes to foster this space and clothing exchange.
Thank you, as always, to the Peace Community Church for sharing this awesome space with us. We truly appreciate all of the work of our shoppers, volunteers, and donors—members of our community who care about environmental sustainability, resource re-distribution, and mutual aid.
