I must admit, the first time I helped with a Tuesday morning “Free Store” I thought it was an especially inefficient system. Free Store is how we distribute clothing to our unhoused neighbors. If you went to a thrift store, you could probably go in, pick out what you want and be out in under a half hour. If you come to Free Store, well, expect that process to involve at least 20 other people and take about 4 hours.
