Now in its fifth year, the Free Store Shanty has transformed into Scritch & Scratch’s Free Stuff Surplus. In addition to offering winter wear to visitors, we will have a trinket trade cabinet, large puppets, and a fire! We will be collecting & redistributing new or gently used winter clothes in advance of the program. We appreciate all adult and kid sizes. Donations can be dropped off on the front porch of 2403 Aldrich Ave S, Minneapolis after December 1st. STAY WARM! EVERYTHING IS FREE!
