Freebie Barn Community Resource Donation Guide

We are so excited to welcome the community back to the Freebie Barn in 2023!  

In addition to changes in operating hours, the Freebie Barn will be partnering with a variety of community organizations throughout the year to find new ways to recycle items that have not been repurposed by residents at the end of each month. 

In the event the Freebie Barn is unable to accept a donation due to capacity or condition, we encourage you to consider utilizing one of the many donation resources in our community to ensure that your items may be recycled or repurposed and avoid the waste stream. 

If you have questions about individual items, or would like to arrange a drop off with any of the organizations below, please contact them directly using the information provided.
