Since opening on April 4, we have distributed clothing, shoes, personal care items, and household essentials to more than 50 individuals through in-store appointments and outreach to downtown Erie shelters.

If you or someone you know is in urgent need of clothing, shoes, or small household items, call or text 814 520 7850 to schedule an appointment. We currently operate by appointment only and do not have regular open hours.

Thank you to everyone who has donated, volunteered, or supported our mission. We are currently seeking donations of clean men's clothing and shoes, personal care items, and children's clothing and shoes to help ensure these essentials remain available for all those who need them.

Did you know a $55 donation could provide:

• 12 sticks of deodorant
• 4 shampoo/conditioners
• 4 peroxide sprays
• 15 razors
• 3 spray alcohols
• 40 Tylenol
• 72 allergy pills
• 6 chapsticks
• 6 bars of soap
• 100 Band-Aids

Every item on our shelves is something someone in our community needs support in accessing right now — basic necessities that help people feel clean, cared for, and dignified.

If you’d like to contribute, donations of any size truly make a difference. Currently, we are most in need of personal care items like those pictured, men’s clothing/pants, and shoes in all sizes for children and adults.

Thank you to everyone who has donated or plans to contribute in the future ❤️

Big news!
The store has moved to ECAT — the Erie Center for Arts & Technology at 650 East Avenue, in the former Wayne Middle School.

Along with the move, we’re excited to introduce our new name: The Free-for-All Store at ECAT.

ECAT is a community-based educational arts and career training facility that inspires, educates, and empowers people of all ages. We are grateful for their partnership and generosity in helping make clothing, shoes, and household items more accessible to those in our community who need them most. Thank you all for your continued support!
