Patriot Packout’s Free Store
Patriot Packout’s annual Free Store will be hosted from 9 a.m. – 6 p.m. on July 1 – July 3 and July 8 – 10 in the Gillespie Gallery on the first floor of the School of Art Building on George Mason University’s Fairfax Campus (Google Maps pin here). Register to attend here.
The Free Store is a “for the Mason community, by the Mason community” resource to address basic needs insecurity.
All items in the Free Store were donated during Patriot Packout’s sustainable move-out initiative. Donations will be redistributed back to Mason Patriots and on-campus resources for free. Items available include clothing, shoes, accessories, books, art supplies, small appliances, electronics, household items, and kitchen goods.
This event is only for Mason students, staff, faculty, and alumni who are invited to “shop” the Free Store. The Free Store is not open to the non-Mason public.
Registration via a very short Microsoft Form is required to participate. Submit the registration form here.
The Free Store will be staffed by a variety of Patriot Packout Planning Committee members and volunteers. Volunteer to support the Free Store by registering here.
