Uplift Free Store

08/15/2026

Our store has been functional for 3 years now! We are open just one day a month, the third Saturday, from 9 -11. We are generally visited by 40 - 60 families each month, and we are able to give away about $2500 worth of cleaning supplies, personal hygiene items, and consumable home goods each month. All of this is made possible through the wonderful financial support of our amazing donors, and the hard work of our fabulous volunteers. God is good!!!
Here are some pictures of what the store looks like when we first open the doors, and what it looks like by 11 AM closing time. Thank you all for your continued support these first three years!

The Uplift Free Store will be open this Saturday for our August event. The shelves are stocked and we are ready for customers. Store hours are 9 AM - 11 AM on 8/15. If you are able to bring back boxes or bring your own bags to carry out items that would be very helpful. Anyone is welcome to shop. In an effort to equally provide assistance to even more guests, we will be limiting items to 1 per commodity per guest this month. If you are picking up items for people that are not with you, we ask that you shop for yourself, then go to the end of the line to shop for others. This will help ensure that more shoppers have an opportunity to get items before we run out. We appreciate your understanding of this necessity.
