Free Store
Welcome to the Free Store at Western! The Free Store is a space for campus community members to donate items they no longer want and take home things for free.
By repurposing items, you are supporting a culture of circularity and are helping to reduce carbon emissions associated with the creation and transportation of new goods.
The Free Store is open to students, staff, and faculty at Western. Make sure you bring your Western ONECard with you when you visit!
