Little free libraries
The little book boxes on front lawns and street corners all over Perrysburg and Rossford: take a book, leave a book, any time. Kids’ books move fast, so a box that’s empty on Tuesday may be full on Friday. The official map shows every registered box near you.

Free groceries with no paperwork happen twice a month at Perrysburg Heights, and free hot meals run every day in Toledo. Dates and times live on the food page, where we keep them checked.
See giveaway days →The curb-alert watch
Every week, neighbors post free furniture, kids’ stuff, and curb alerts in the local sale groups. Our morning watch flags the good free stuff so you don’t have to scroll for it. It’s part of the weekly garage-sale list.

Where your donation actually goes matters. These are the options we’d use ourselves, and what happens after the drop-off.
Cherry Street Mission, Toledo
Cleaning out a closet? Cherry Street hands clothing straight to the men and women staying with them, so your coat ends up on a person this winter, not baled in a warehouse. Donation details are on their site.

The fastest donation there is: put canned goods, hygiene items, or winter basics straight into a blessing box and a neighbor takes them the same day. No middleman at all. Needs lists and box locations are on the food page.
Blessing boxes →Menards food drive
All through October 2026, Menards stores are collection points for local food pantries. There’s a box near the exit: grab an extra box of cereal or cans of soup while you shop and drop them on your way out.
