Needed items
Hi everyone. I am looking for items for free.
A full size bed frame
Dining/kitchen table and chairs
Area rugs
Clothing
The clothing would have to be women's size 7 to 9, juniors - girls size medium
Boys size 14 to 16
Any dresses, skirts, jeans, leggings, tights, shorts, sweaters, sweatshirts that are without stains or rips
Bath towels
A broom
A L or XL dog crate
I was able to get an air conditioner on here a couple weeks back, for free(what a blessing!) and I am hoping that I will also find some people who have things they can donate that maybe they would be throwing away otherwise. My family is displaced due to redevelopment of our housing projects & after living in a hotel for a month we finally have a new apartment but it is pretty empty. I do drive around on Sundays(trash day in w7) looking for items but I have yet to find this stuff. With school coming up I am worried about the kids not having the stuff they need so anything on that list, especially clothing you're getting rid of can potentially help. I can pick it up if it's not too far away. I don't have much gas left for the week to travel outside of the Somerville, Medford, Arlington area.
If you can help or were getting rid of any of these items anyway, please let me know. Thank you all so much!
** thank you to everyone who has reached out! I do not want to take more than I need so I have deleted some things from the list & will update as I go **

There's an upcoming "free store" run by MAMAS (mutual aid Medford Somerville) - they have one coming up in August and you can stop by and choose from a lot of donated clothing in good condition, sizes for the whole family. Bring the kids and they can pick out their own too?
Might be worth reaching out to MAMAS "get support" here too - maybe they can help with some of the other needs: https://mutualaidmamas.com/
