Orlando is a city with so much going on and sometimes things get lost in translation while being advertised. I would like to highlight several community help organizations and resources in the Orlando area where you can find some things you might need.
The Really, Really Free Market of Orlando is on the first Saturday of every month at Festival Park Orlando. They are located at 2911 East Robinson St., Orlando, FL 32803. You can find them on Instagram @reallyfreeorlando. How does it work you might ask? Well, show up anytime from 10:00am to 1:00pm, and there is no need to sign up in advance. You also do not need to bring anything to share or donate to participate in this event. It is advised that if you bring items that you bring a blanket or tarp so you can lay items on the grass. You will walk around, meet new people, hang out, and get free stuff! You can bring art, toys, clothing, pantry items, baked goods, books, personal hygiene, craft supplies, electronics and decor! You can find or offer sewing repair, teach a skill, lead an art activity, offer bike repairs, play a game, host a workshop, read a poem, face painting, and tarot readings.
