Westside Free Store Ministries – Sharing Resources, Building Relationships & Creating Community

Temporary Changes for COVID-19 Response Updated Hours are: Mondays 9:30 to 11:45 am Thursday 3 to 5:15 pm Saturdays 11 am to 1:15 pm We are making changes due to the increase of cases of COVID which is impacting our staffing as well as our desire to keep everyone safe. Shoppers no longer need appointments; however, social distancing will be maintained and individuals will have to wait outside to keep safe numbers inside the building. We continue to serve a Grab and Go meal as usual. Donations are accepted during our open hours. Please consider only donating clothes in season if at all possible. We cannot accommodate "end of garage sale" donations as we have limited space. Towels, sheets, dishes, silverware are needed items.

The Westside Free Store Ministries is a faith-based, 501(c)(3) charitable organization designed to share resources, build relationships and create community on Columbus’ west side. Through the volunteer effort and generosity of many people, the Westside Free Store serves thousands of people in need each year.

Since opening our doors in August, 2004, we have become known as a hospitable community resource. Lunches are served every Saturday and guests may shop for clothes and small household items several days a week.
