It allows those of us who want to donate items to just drive up and drop off. Then those who can use them can just take them free of charge. A wonderful community service!

This store is unique. I had a lot of clothes to donate and learned about The Free Store in Braddock Pa. I didn’t want to donate to a store where the CEO makes over $100,000 and pay their employees minimum pay. The Free Store truly is a non-profit company. ALL DONATIONS ARE GIVEN TO PEOPLE IN NEED. The staff is amazing, helpful and seem truly happy to help people.

Got there at 12:55 and was told they were closed. We had just driven from East Liberty becuase the Free Store in Wilkinsburg was closed. People were still walking out and donating stuff, but for us it was closed. They said they didn't have any baby items and looked at us; me, the young mom and her 16 month old with no winter coat and no shoes, like we had 3 heads. I guess technically we did have 3 heads and we were there last minute or I'd give them 1 or less stars. I'm sure a lot of people benefit but not this baby. Just used quite a bit of precious gas.

This lady here is very kind when you're down on your luck and you're hurting for things. Whether you are poor or domestic violence and how to get away without anything or got burned out of your house or just getting out of placement . This is a place to go to get yourself back on your feet if you have any extra clothing, personal items that you like to donate, stop by and drop it off. They could always use it. She just don't take furniture electronics when bring used stuff to her use good judgment and thank you to all the good people who help donate their personal items to the Free Store.

The free store gives clothes, books, food, to people who are in need. When you want to get rid of gently used clothing or domestic items you can drop them off at the free store. I like produce that is what I usually go for when they have it. Everything is free. I always look forward to going to the free store when I'm walking. Love it!!

Beautiful chaos and love in Braddock. If you believe in the power of gift culture, donate or shop at this Free Store. Want a tax receipt? The gentleman with a big hugs button will hook you up.

The lady who runs the free store she's a wonderful lady she will help the needy or do what she can in her power to help you if she can she will she has a blessing in my life and I appreciate everything she has done for me if you got old clothing or furniture or anything you'd like to donate that is usual for somebody else should be more willing to take it off your hands to give it to somebody who else may need something that doesn't have the money to buy it use good judgment when donating cuz everything she does is of her own pocket.

This charitable organization has a great store were all goods are donated and given away for free to those in need. I've only been there on Saturdays, so my review is for that day.They are open from 10am to 12noon on Saturday and the lovely ladies who volunteer there are done at NOON. Be respectful of their lives please. They work hard, they work here as volunteers and they keep The Free Store running, very well, as a department store with food items.Food is often donated from Giant Eagle, Walmart and Trader Joe's, local stores, etc. Other than that, donations are made by regular people. There's clothes (men's, women's, children and babies), housewares, kids toys, books, bikes, etc.Everything is well organized and the volunteers are so helpful. If they don't have what you're looking for, ask them, they might know where you can find it.

I love the Freestore! This place holds a special place in my heart! From Giselle and her amazing volunteers, the generous folks that constantly send in bountiful donations, and the community...they all pull together to offer this amazing resource for those in need and for those just passing through. They have helped so many families and individuals!The feeling of love, kindness, generosity, support and caring towards strangers....strangers who become friends...it is real at this very special place! The Braddock Freestore!

Tightly run ship, well organized, friendly volunteers, casual atmosphere, clean - and they work hard on partnerships with local businesses and donors. There isn't any of the stigma associated with churches, food banks or ngo's - no forms to fill, lines to wait in or crabby social workers. Please donate here before you consider anywhere else. They are truly helping the people at a grassroots level in a very impactful way.

BEST place to donate food, gently used or like-new items that go directly to the folks that need it. 100% volunteer and everyone is helpful. Hours are very limited but worth it!

Love the free store, everyone there are the best. We came back because of the workers and the owner. If no one has said it, thank you all. My family and I pray that Christ continue to bless you all, as you all have blessed us. Thank you again.

I think it is awesome that there is a place where people in need can go get clothing, toys and bikes for free.I have donated to the Free Store before and I intend on donating 4-5 bags of clothes again in a couple of days.

The owner of the free store Mrs.Fetterman has been discriminating against Braddock residents and shipping donations meant for residents of Braddock to Africa. The African woman that has been profitting from these illigal transactions with Mrs. Fetterman is rude and nasty along with Fetterman.. The least they can do is NOT have her loading her van up with donations meant for Braddock on rhe two days the free store is open! Mrs. Fetrerman claimed someone was discriminatong against her but she has been discriminationg against Braddock residents for years.

It’s amazing that anyone would give anything less than 5 stars to a place that is doing what this place does literally for free
