REUSING OLD STUFF. MAKING NEW FRIENDS.
We organized Freebies for Families in memory of Marlen Ochoa-Lopez, a young mom from Pilsen who was tragically killed while trying to get some free baby clothes via a Facebook connection.
Guardians in need - and those wishing to unload gently used baby and kid items - can safely drop off, pick up or both at this bi-monthly event. All leftover donations benefit local organizations such as Share Our Spare.
NEXT EVENT: JULY 30
