If you are also an awesome person, and would like to join Baltimore Free Store’s efforts in redistributing tons of items to the community for free, email volunteer@baltimorefreestore.org.
Important Message about Donations:
The Baltimore Free Store is not able to accept anything too large to be carried easily by one person. For a complete list of items they accept, visit the Baltimore Free Store website. Thank you for your understanding. And remember – all donations are tax-deductible!
What is a Free Market?
For over 7 years, the main way BFS has redistributed donated & salvaged goods has been through 1-day events called Free Markets. At these events, BFS accepts donations in the morning, then set them out on top of tables, in boxes, and hanging on clothing racks. That afternoon, shoppers arrive to take what they need from the donated items, completely free of charge. This method of redistribution enables us to interact with different parts of the city, different community groups, and partner with different organizations. The events encourage recycling, redistribution, and community engagement.

Don’t Pave The Park
You are missing the point of a park if you think it needs to be easily navigable by a car.
| Baltimore City’s Department of Recreation and Parks and Health Department: Don’t Pave the Park!
Started by: Greg, Baltimore, Maryland The Baltimore City Department of Recreation and Parks, in conjunction with the Baltimore City Health Department, have proposed to create both a loop road and build three new parking areas/lots along it that would create approximately 96 parking spaces in the Park. The two departments claim it is needed to expand services at the Casino and the Virginia Baker Recreation Center. Creating this road with parking would reduce the amount of green space in the park, and increase vehicular traffic, thereby potentially reducing the safety of pedestrians in the park. We believe that there should be no new road or parking spaces in the park and ask that the Department of Recreation and Parks and the Health Department withdraw this plan. In essence: PROTECT PATTERSON PARK -NO MORE CARS, NO MORE PARKING, NO MORE PAVING! |
