No-Cost Stanislaus is a unique online community hosted by the 211 Stanislaus Info Hub, dedicated exclusively to listing free items available to local residents.

Unlike other platforms that mix free and for-sale items, this community focuses solely on no-strings-attached giveaways, operating on a first-come, first-served basis. It's an invaluable resource for those in need, including families starting out, individuals rebuilding in recovery, or financial crises, and anyone struggling with the rising cost of living and inflation.

Community Guidelines:

1. List only completely free items

2. Provide clear, accurate descriptions of items

3. Include photos when possible

4. The first to respond gets the item

5. Arrange pickup or delivery privately

6. Be respectful and courteous in all interactions

7. Remove listings promptly once items are claimed

8. No selling, trading, or bartering allowed

9. Keep personal information private

10. Report any suspicious activity to moderators

By connecting those who have items to give with those in need, No-Cost Stanislaus is true community support and helps ensure that usable items find new homes rather than ending up in landfills.
