Franklin Free Store Gets a Makeover

The Franklin Free Store, a program provided by the Franklin Community Center, recently received a renovation. The store connects community members looking to donate their no longer needed items with those in need.

According to Operations and Free Store Coordinator Ally Dennison, “The Free Store plays a critical role in our community by providing free essential items to people in need. At the same time, it helps donors clear their homes of gently used belongings and diverts a large quantity of items from landfills by creating a reuse pathway.” Each year, the Free Store serves over 8,000 people.

Due to the generosity of local businesses, volunteers, and supporters, the Free Store at 101 Washington Street underwent a “Makeover Project” between Sunday, May 17 and Friday, May 22.
