STM Free Store

 

OPEN FOR SHOPPERS


Beginning Saturday, June 19, our Free Store will be open from 1-3 pm on the 1st and 3rd Saturdays of each month. Shoppers no longer need to make appointments. Properly worn masks will still be required. Time in the store and number of people shopping at a time will be limited. If you experience symptoms or are exposed to someone with COVID-19, please stay home and shop only after your time of quarantine has ended. 

 


WE NEED VOLUNTEERS!

We are currently seeking volunteers to help on Saturdays to get our store in order. We will welcome guests on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of every month from 1-3 pm. In order to catch up, we will also be working every Saturday from 10 am - 12 pm to process donations, organize the store, and pack bags to deliver to our partner agencies. (No guests will be shopping during these hours.) Strict COVID-19 safety protocols will be implemented.
