Wellington’s first Free Store is now open. The goods are supplied by local retailers keen to reduce waste and provide excess stock to the community for no cost.
The Free Store will build on the success of Kim Paton’s Free Store art project that was established for two-weeks in June, 2010 - and will extend it to become a long term, sustainable strategy for supplying surplus food to those in need.
It aims to operate at minimum cost by utilising volunteers, acquiring donated food and obtaining free leases where able.
To contribute goods to the store contact cherie@thefreestore.org.nz.
