free store
No-cost donation center
Free store is a retail operation, often run by churches or community organizations, that gives away goods at no cost to anyone who needs them.
Unlike thrift stores, free stores don't charge—items are donated and distributed freely.
The term also has a technical meaning in C++ programming, referring to memory allocated dynamically during program execution, synonymous with the heap.
