PAY IT FORWARD & #LOVEYOURNEIGHBOR
What are the requirements to qualify to shop the store?
There are none! Shoppers just have to be neighbors in need. And need doesn’t mean you receive government assistance or are unemployed. Middle class families also live paycheck to paycheck and need relief to their financial stress. Free Store Penn Hills serves everyone who needs help, no matter their income or zip code.
How many items can I "buy?"
Shoppers, children and adults, can "purchase" ten items, in addition to flash "sale" items. Each week, the store runs flash "sales" on various items, such as sweaters and jeans. These items are not counted towards your ten items that you can "purchase."
Free Store Penn Hills accepts smiles and hugs as forms of payment.
In addition, all children receive a book and a toy, while supplies last.
The number of items you can "purchase" multiplies if you stay and help sort and stock donations for an hour.
Can I shop on Saturday and then again on Monday?
Yes, if you need additional items, you can visit us as often as you like. Please take only what you need. Don't sell the items or be wasteful. If something doesn’t fit, feel free to bring it back to the store and exchange it for another item!
So, is there a catch? Is everything free?
There’s no catch. Hopefully, this idea of mutual aid will catch on, and people will support and love one another in every community.
