The goal of Free Market Baltimore is to increase access to every day goods for communities in Baltimore City. All items received from the Community Resource Center are free of charge.

*We are unable to deliver items. Items must be picked up from our office in Baltimore city. A pick-up appointment is required. We have contracted with a local third-party courier service to provide delivery to residents. Most orders are delivered for a flat fee of $20. (Items are free, delivery is not). To receive items faster, you may also request to have items mailed (the fee for mailed orders varies and depends on the quantity and weight of items). Some items are too large to ship or deliver and must be picked up. 

Membership to the Free Market Baltimore is granted for a 1 year term. All members must submit an application that provides information about their household size as well as other information critical to ensuring that we are providing support to households that can most benefit from accessing the Community Resource Center.

At this time, the Free Market Baltimore is only available to Baltimore city residents. No exceptions can be made.

*Free Market Baltimore members are prohibited from selling any items received from the program.

For agencies, Free Market Baltimore supports the everyday efforts of local nonprofits serving communities of need in Baltimore city. Agencies may request items needed to further their mission and additional submit requests and referrals for clients as needed.  Agencies, organizations and community groups are charged a membership fee of $50 annually. The membership fee supports administrative tasks associated with working directly with organizations.
