Neighbors across Phoenix are offering a wide range of free items this week — from household goods and furniture to food, appliances, and animals. Availability changes quickly; contact the poster to confirm pickup details.
Small collectibles and household bundles include Canadian military pins, an outdoor mat, a lunch box, canned and boxed food, and a Swiffer. One listing offers men’s shoes (about sizes 10.5–11) and asks for proof of cleaning or repairs before release.
Moving supplies and organizational gear are available: multiple cardboard moving and shipping boxes (Home Depot and Amazon) and a four-tier Craftsman plastic garage storage shelf that snaps together and disassembles easily.
Larger appliances and electronics are listed for parts or repair, including a nonworking GE Profile side-by-side refrigerator in Anthem (truck and help required), a Hiboy S2 Pro scooter that won’t turn on, and a robot vacuum with a broken mop-tray sensor.
Food offerings include 48 four‑ounce cups of Activia yogurt and a 12‑pack dairy snack box; takers should confirm expiration dates and consider bringing a cooler. A local flyer also lists community fridge locations, hours and guidance for free food.
A household of cats in Cheatham Farms South, Laveen needs adopters: five kittens (four females, one male) and their mother were found outside. The kittens are reportedly litter-trained; the mother requires care and the finder already has other pets.
Furniture listings include a sturdy wooden side table (22 x 24 x 12 inches) and an ornate wooden king bed frame in Pinnacle at Union Hills that must be disassembled and moved by the taker. A full set of Bowflex weight plates (about 20 plates, ~100 lbs total) is also offered.
Native American Connections continues twice-monthly free food distributions at Stepping Stone Place, 1311 N. 14th St., Phoenix, generally on the 2nd Tuesday and 4th Thursday (Aug. 11 and Aug. 27). Events typically offer one pre-packed bag per person or family member.
A variety of items are being offered for free around Phoenix this week, including household goods, furniture, food, and animals in need of homes. Availability can change quickly; contact the person offering the item to confirm pickup details.
