What Is Free4ALL?
Free4ALL™ is mobile mutual aid in the form of pop-up free stores. Folks are welcome to give what they can, and take all they need. It’s a liberation art project that practices mutual aid as community-led infrastructure, not crisis response. Our Work is sharing the responsibility of doing what we can with what we have, growing our capacity to do more each and every day.
We do not raise money for/make donations to anyone we don’t know. Community is built on trust, and trust takes time, effort, and connection.
From Christabel Mintah-Galloway – Community is not an emergency service. It’s pre-existing infrastructure built on years of “long-suffering,” boring, unglamorous presence.
