Frequently asked questions

Find clear answers about shopping guidelines, available household goods, registration requirements, and how our community donation and pickup process works.

Who can shop at the Free Store?

The Free Store is open to any families and individuals in need of items to sustain everyday life functions. Our goal is to ensure essential household goods and clothing reach community members who need them most.

What do I need to bring for my first visit?

A valid photo ID is required for each individual above the age of 18 in your household. If it is your first visit, you will need to register yourself and all household members you are shopping for. You can register online beforehand or register in person upon arrival. Please note that onsite registration can take up to an hour or more, and all required documentation must be presented.

Are there limits on how many items I can take?

Yes. Because we serve many families in our community, there are reasonable limits on the quantity of items you can receive within each category during a visit.

What items are typically available?

We regularly offer refurbished beds, couches, household items, small appliances, clothing, shoes, seasonal holiday items, and home decor. Donated goods featured in our thrift store move into the Free Store after one month, ensuring a steady rotation of quality essentials.

How can I donate items or arrange a pickup?

You can drop off donations at our facility or contact us to schedule a pickup service. Our team handles the heavy lifting, catalogs your items, and issues a tax-deductible donation receipt upon request.

How can I get involved or volunteer?

We welcome volunteers to assist with refurbishing furniture, organizing inventory, and helping visitors! Contact us by email at info@hopefornewbeginningsfoundationinc.com or call 234-352-8157 to schedule volunteer hours, large drop-offs, or home pickups.
