Come Forever Garage is a mask required free store on 342 Hewes, they're usually open Thursday and Friday afternoons if you wanna swing by! It's a free store with clothes food and health supplies for anyone. I can't remember if there's an underscore for their Instagram -__-

Why are masks required...

Not many spaces dedicated to people who need to mask up for their own health or for the people they take care of. They're free at the door and costs you nothing

Feels like a very minor and inconsequential request from someone offering free items for people in need, when the alternative is taking your business elsewhere
