The Free Store - Corpus Christi Collaboration and Advocation
Change for the Better

We welcome collaborations with other organizations.

We are a volunteer run and led, non-profit organization, that focuses on low barrier resource distribution to individuals experiencing extreme poverty and/or homelessness in Corpus Christi. Collaborations build stronger relationships between organizations, which in turn make our goals, more achievable. We also advocate on behalf of shoppers, to help break stereotypes and stigmas associated with poverty.
