The FREEdom Store History
One week after the local and State Shelter In Place (SIP) order, Homies Empowerment shifted from a school design project and began creating the FREEdom Store. We realized that as schools, churches and public service agencies closed, it was imperative for the FREEdom Store to OPEN our doors to our people who historically have been neglected. Moreover, as the economy struggles and unemployment rises, our families and communities will require basic needs for survival.
The FREEdom Store serves on average 400 individuals/families weekly. Core members of Homies Empowerment, and volunteers gather to distribute fresh produce, and other essentials to the community. The Freedom Store is a makeshift “grocery store” where those who need supplies can come and grab a week’s worth of essentials.
In 2022 we distributed 544.417 lbs of fresh foods. Community received 25,000 prepared meals.
