Every item at 611 started with someone deciding to share it.

To help us care for the space and the people who use it, donations are accepted during designated drop-off hours only. Our hours change each month, so please check the Calendar before stopping by.

611 is a highly curated, boutique-style Free Store. We focus on keeping useful, beautiful things in circulation and making them available to the next person who can use them.

Haul Away Volunteers help prepare and organize 611 so we can run smoothly. Learn more and sign up here. This role includes taking recycling, trash, or unusable items off-site. 611 does not currently have trash or recycling service. Trash and recycling may be disposed of at your home. Items 611 can't use can be taken to a secondhand organization of your choice.

Volunteers in this role receive one shopping experience per shift, and shopping takes place after your shift ends. *Please note that food is reserved for shoppers and provided through Evanston Community Fridges.

If you are interested in volunteering at 611, but you do not want or need access shopping our free store, please consider volunteering during Event Support.
