FreeStore

Volunteer with the FreeStore
​FreeStore provides household items and furniture free of charge to women who are referred by Iowa domestic violence service agencies. When a family is ready to move into more permanent housing, they come to the FreeStore and get enough furniture and household items to furnish their new housing.  For more information, visit the FreeStore website. To serve in this ministry, contact Marty Rathje.
Volunteer!
  • Join the FreeStore volunteers and help break the cycles of domestic violence and homelessness!
  • We load a FreeStore truck and then go to the client’s residence to unload the truck.  
  • Time commitment is 3-4 hours on the third Saturday of each month.
  • Other volunteer opportunities are available, ranging from helping sort goods in the warehouse to helping with pick-ups or helping with administrative duties.  ​
  • During the Covid pandemic the FreeStore is still serving clients but we are not entering their homes, and we are limiting the number of volunteers in the warehouse at any one time.  But help is still needed!
Donate!  
  • FreeStore collects gently used household items, such as dishes, small kitchen appliances, and furniture. The items are stored in our warehouse.  
  • Call 282-3733 to arrange for a pick-up, ​or drop items off at the FreeStore warehouse on any Tuesday or Friday morning between 9 and 11.  The warehouse is located in downtown Des Moines on 11th Street between Crocker and Keo.  The address is 834 10th St but the entrance is on 11th Street. See the website for a map. 
To serve in this ministry, contact Marty Rathje.
