About

The Westside Free Store Ministries has been apart of the Hilltop since 2004.  It is with a heavy heart that I compose this letter today. Despite tireless efforts, including careful discernment, collaboration with an external non-profit, and aggressive grant writing, Westside Free Store Ministries (WFSM) finds itself in an ongoing struggle to secure the necessary funds for sustainability.

In consideration of our dedicated employees and the clients we serve, we have made the difficult decision to dissolve WFSM so that we can start working on an exit plan and allow employees to find other employment. Our last day of service will be December 21^st.

We are committed to providing ample notice to both our staff and the community we serve. To honor this commitment, we kindly ask our volunteers to continue their invaluable support through December 21^st, ensuring that we can continue serving the Hilltop community through our final day of operation.

In light of our impeding closure, we are actively collecting toys and toilet paper to distribute during our last week. Please note that, effective December 2nd, we will no longer be accepting any donations, except for new toys intended for Christmas or toilet paper.

We extend our deepest gratitude for the prayers and unwavering support we have received over the past 19 years. Your dedication has made a lasting impact on Westside Free Store Ministries and the communities we have served.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support during this challenging time.
