Volunteer at a Free Store

*Registration opens on the 15th of the month prior to the event at 9:00AM*

Time to set up shop! Join us and Our Lady of Angels in distributing free clothing, books, and housewares to neighbors in need that live in the West Humboldt Park community. We are inviting the families to go through their closets and basements to bring donations of their own to share!

We will start the day by sorting and quality checking the church's donations. Then we will set up our own mini-stores (i.e. toys, kitchenware, house decor, books). Being part of these community days helps connect the West Humboldt Park community to needed resources and gives them personal belongings they can be proud of.    

This project is for volunteers ages 5 to adult. We provide all of the needed supplies and a healthy snack. 5 participant maximum per family and all kids must be accompanied by a parent or guardian. Additional details will follow a few days prior to the event. Please read the Consent, Release and Waiver of Liability below and click on the link to register.

If the event is full, please join our waitlist and we will contact you if space becomes available.
