WHy LuLU's?
Seeing the financial and social effects of the COVID-19 pandemic in her own community, then 16 year-old Grace "LuLu" Reid-Vensel wanted to bring light to her community through creating a mutual aid initiative that provides free access to clothing, necessities, and comfort objects--such as toys or books.
She named it "LuLu's Free Store" after her childhood nickname which, to her, signifies the hope and child-like warmth she wishes to provide to the community.
One of LuLu's goals for the future includes owning a van, providing a free walk-in boutique and traveling across Western Pennsylvania to provide a dignified, inclusive, and--most importantly--FREE shopping experience to those in need.
