Baltimore Free Market
Partner
Our Baltimore Free Market partners have unlimited access to our entire inventory. Through our partnerships with various retailers, we are able to secure 100s of household goods like furniture, bedding, cookware, appliances, exercise equipment, electronics, vacuums, home decor, and much much more.
These items are made available to nonprofit agencies in Maryland that serve individual clients in need. Agencies may request items for their organization to increase capacity or request items designated for special programs or specific clients.
There are no limitations on the number of items a partner can request, however larger requests may take longer to fulfill. After a request is received, items are pulled in our warehouse and made available for pick-up within 3-5 business days or sooner.
So far we have distributed over 2500 items to individuals and partner agencies combined and have been able to help furnish houses for clients, improve health outcomes with exercise equipment and health aids, increase access to work from home jobs by distributing home office equipment and laptops, provide safe sleep with baby bassinets and playards and much much more.
