NOTE: We will only be collecting items listed in Portland, OR. We hope to partner with more community support organizations in other cities in the furture!
RECAP!: Post functional roller suitcases and ladies sneakers on Freeya from 10/27 - 10/29 to support Rose Haven. Please include Rose Haven or RH in the title of your post so it is clear which items we need to claim. By posting, you'll ALSO be entered to win Freeya's $100 giveaway!

Upcoming Giveaways!
- Get ready, we have a handful of giveaways coming up! Start gathering up for the following:
- Game Clear Out 🎲🧩♟️⏳ Clear out your old video games, board games, or puzzles, and share the joy with others. We'll find them a new home where they can continue to bring smiles and entertainment, esp during rainy season!
- Cool Tools 🛠️ Time to channel your inner Tim the Tool Man Taylor and free up space in your workshop (we know it's crowded!).
One Man's Trash, is Another's Treasure!
Treasures in the Trash is a museum in New York City created by 30+year NYC Sanitation worker, Nelson Molina, the father of one of our Freeya members. Nelson collected discarded items from the garbage and put them on display in his work garage.
Now his collection is thousands and thousands (and thooooousands!!) of items that people can go see! He holds tours, and speaks at local art houses, universities and colleges about his collection. Sounds right up our alley, right!?
So when TL Frasqueri-Molina called us up to say our art show, Art of the Free, reminded them of their dad's life's work, we couldn't believe it. Mr. Molina is creating history while preserving it , and we're beyond honored to even share a sentence with him. Check out what Nelson has created. Pretty sure that if you're here, you're going to love it.
