Hi everyone! ❤️ My husband and I are getting our household essentials together, and we’re currently working with a very limited budget. We’re looking for any free, usable household items that anyone may be giving away or no longer needs.

We’re near Journal Square in Jersey City and don’t have a car, so items nearby would be especially helpful. We’re happy to accept individual items, small bundles, or anything someone is willing to part with. We appreciate every bit of help!

We’re not expecting anyone to provide everything. Even one pot, a few plates, or a couple of utensils would make a real difference for us. We’re thankful for anything that can help us get settled and make our home comfortable. ❤️

We’re near Journal Square, Jersey City, and would especially appreciate anything within walking distance or an easy nearby pickup. Thank you so much for reading and for any help you can offer! ?
