Our story of love.

​Braddock

No place has lost a greater share of its population than Braddock, Pennsylvania, just outside Pittsburgh. This ravaged, near-empty stretch of abandoned homes, storefronts, and buildings was once a storied cornerstone of the industrial age. After losing 90 percent of its peak population, today we work to bring back its spirit of community. 

Free Store

​We receive surplus and donated goods and redistribute them to neighbors in need.  What began as a braddock project grew to serve residents all of Allegheny County.  We want to change individual relationships with material goods while combating poverty through empowerment.
