About Our Free Shop Partner: STILL GOOD
STILL GOOD is a community-led initiative built on one idea: we already have everything we need. They collect donations and redistribute them through free shops — keeping goods in use, out of landfills, and in the hands of neighbors, not overconsumption. Based in Bed-Stuy, Brooklyn.
At our event, STILL GOOD will be running a free market — and you can bring items to donate too!
Accepted donations: clean/gently used clothing, shoes, outerwear, baby items, home goods, small appliances (working), bedding/linens, unopened toiletries & cleaning supplies, books, school supplies, toys (all pieces included), unopened pet supplies, and non-perishable food (unopened, within date).
