Get ready for the school year at the Free Store!

From September 2nd to 5th, 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., students can shop for free by presenting a valid Dal or King’s ID card (or other proof of enrolment). Take up to 3 items or item sets per visit and enter once per day for a chance to win a mini fridge raffle prize.

Items in stock include home goods (laundry baskets, organizers, shower caddies), school supplies (binders, notebooks), kitchenware (dishes, cutlery, cups, Brita pitchers), bedding and mattress toppers, and lab coats, and more!

Supplies are limited and available first come, first served—while supplies last.

The Free Store is physically accessible (i.e. ground-level entrance, spacious layout meeting mobility requirements). The space itself is brightly lit, and during the BTS shop, the line to get in can be long, taking around 1 hour to be admitted - this may require extended periods of standing, although there are benches outside of the building.
