Just like any other charity, our ability to provide free clothing and household items to people in need depends largely on the generosity of the community to cover our operating expenses. Common Ground Free Store Ministries is an IRS 501(c)3 designated organization, which means your gifts are tax deductible. (Please consult your tax professional for advice regarding deductions of charitable donations.)

Material Donations Received on Saturdays, 10AM-2PM
Common Ground Free Store Ministries gladly accepts the items listed below, to distribute to our customers. We ask that the clothing be SEASONAL clothing only. (Our space is too limited to store off-season items.) We ask that all clothing and linens be clean and in good shape (no holes, stains, or odors) and that coffee makers, etc. be in good working order. We will provide you with a receipt for your material donations. Thank you for celebrating God's blessings to you by sharing them with others!
