Exciting news, The FREEdom Store is back at the FREEdom Farm starting April 15th! FREE healthy food by and for the people

04/04/2026

Dear Community of East Oakland,

Following the closure of the FREEdom Store due to rising rent and a misalignment of values with our “landlord”, we are moving forward with a new chapter.

While it was difficult to close a space dedicated to a dignified, free shopping experience, our commitment to this mission of community care remains unchanged.

In response to our community’s needs, we are launching a free farmers market at the FREEdom Farm. We have chosen to open on April 15th—Tax Day—as a symbol of resistance and mutual support.

The redistribution of food to our Town has been a collective labor possible with the great support of orgs like AlamedaCountyCommunityFoodBank Alameda Food Bank, Planting Justice, Arizmendi Bakery, Food Shift, and the food recovery programs standing in solidarity with The Town. The FREEdom Farm will continue to grow culturally relevant produce that is often inaccessible or unaffordable elsewhere.

The FREEdom Farmers Market will be held every Wednesday from 10:00 AM to 2:00 PM. Please reach out if you would like to volunteer or donate.

We would appreciate your help in sharing this news with your neighbors and boosting this announcement by liking, commenting, and sharing on your social media.

Blessings ✨

A superintendent in New York traveled to Guatemala to deliver a student's cap, gown and diploma after he was picked up by ICE and forced to self-deport just weeks before graduation.

"Yeah. It's very difficult as a superintendent, a father, to think about if something like that were to have happened to any of my kids," the superintendent said. He took two plane rides and a five-and-a-half-hour car trip through the foothills of Guatemala, where he was finally reunited with Alvaro Velasquez and his family.
