2. Address: 438 Portlock Road
3. Hours: 24/7 except for extreme weather.
4. Anyone and everyone can participate.
5. *No one works at the Freestore. It is autonomous, meaning all users are expected to contribute to its maintenance. (an·ar·chism /ˈanərˌkizəm/ n. the organization of society on a voluntary, cooperative basis without recourse to force or compulsion.)
6. Observe Covid safety – masks and 6-foot physical distancing. DO NOT COME IF YOU ARE SICK.
7. TURN OFF YOUR CAR and park safely. There is plenty of free street parking everywhere. Please do not block any driveways as cops drive by often and will ticket!

9. Contributions of plant containers or buckets are most welcome!
10. Contributions of used but good condition books are also welcome.
11. If you drop off plants, please label what they are. DO NOT LEAVE DISEASED PLANTS OR PLANTS WITH PESTS ON THEM.

13. If you are a Facebook 808 Green Thumbs group member, please make a post on what you drop off.
14. Please respect our reclusive yet curious neighbors. Be aware that neighbors across the way are very nice but have very barky dogs so please don’t engage with the dogs.
15. Inventory changes minute by minute. Please don’t ask for holds unless it’s an absolute must have… just message (bleeding-heart) @graceskyblue on Facebook.
16. Many many more Freestores are needed. Start one!
