Where everyone is on common ground

Welcome!

We're So Glad You Stopped By

Common Ground Free Store is just what it sounds like - a store where everything is free! We provide free clothing, housewares, meals and more in a safe and welcoming environment. We understand that anyone can find themselves in a tough spot, and we aim to remind each of our shoppers that they are seen, valued and loved! Stop in and see us anytime! 

What Our Shoppers Have To Say

"Honestly, if it wasn't for this place, we'd probably be freezing, hungry ... It's really been a life-saver. Without this place I don't know what we would do. We get a little bit of conversation and insight and input on other resources. It really is a godsend. It's amazing that you guys have this place."

Derek & Heidi

It's that time of year

Miracle on William Street is coming up!

Our annual gift-giving event is coming up on December 7th! Last year we gave away 3,312 toys to families in need in our area, helping their Christmas be one of joy and laughter! If you'd like to be part of making this special day a reality again, check out our Amazon wishlist below! Just have the unwrapped gifts shipped to you (NOT us please!), then bring them to Delaware Christian Church on one of our Dropoff Days: 

Thursday, Dec. 5th from 5-8 PM

Friday, Dec. 6th from 4-8 PM

Why Volunteer At Common Ground?

Hear From Our Volunteers

"I think I started in 2009. I came with my church the first time and they came once a month. After the first time I said I'm not waiting a month to come back! It gets in your blood. I love seeing the people, I love helping them. I love knowing we make a difference. If you take the time, it's really worth your time and it's hard to stay away once you've done it!"

-Joy
