FreeAlert Tells About Local Free Stuff

Imagine a world so connected via phone and Internet that anyone of means who wishes to give new or used items to the less fortunate, to the needy, to the disabled, to orphans and widows and working poor, can do so by simply joining a not-for-profit group that sends out alerts via email and mobile phone. FreeAlert is that organization. It is worldwide and puts people in touch locally. It is online now and gets people looking for free items in touch with people who give away free items, whether those items are brand new or used--such as excess household items, such as dressers and used computers and TVs. All you have to do to receive free alerts via email on your computer or text messages on your mobile phone is to register with http://www.freealert.org. You can even redistribute every freebee you receive.

FreeAlert's founder began as someone concerned about the needs of African refugees in Washington, D.C. At first FreeAlert collected and gave away used computers to needy immigrants from Sudan. Then FreeAlert expanded into housing projects, providing them with quality used furniture. Now FreeAlert is putting people together locally in the world at large.
