Page Neal started up the Baltimore Free Store Baltimore, Maryland in 2004 as a way to really "Think Globally, Act Locally". What started as a very small operation has turned into a large investment on her part, and a huge contribution to the city of Baltimore. She takes donations and leftover items from places like the Salvation Army and sets up a "store" in different sections of the city where she and other volunteers give away the items for free.

She describes the work that she's done and the reaction the community has had to her free store at SuperNaturale. She explains how her work with the free store is not only about giving away free stuff, but it is also about bringing the community together and showing people that they do not always have to depend on stores for the things they need.

It's an excellent read, and I highly recommend it.
