Atlanta Welcomes Freeya: The New App Making Secondhand Shopping a Breeze!
Hey there, Atlanta! Are you ready to declutter your home while making meaningful connections in your community? If you’ve ever found yourself staring at a pile of items that just don’t spark joy anymore—like that side table collecting dust or the holiday decorations you’ve outgrown—then you’re in for a treat! Introducing Freeya, the innovative app that’s changing how we think about secondhand shopping and giving.
What’s the Buzz About Freeya?
Freeya first gained traction in Portland, but now it’s officially landed in the South, specifically in our lovely city of Atlanta! This app aims to make it super easy to give away items you no longer need while finding treasures from your neighbors—all for free! Imagine a world where you can declutter your life without the hassle of visiting a donation center or the headache of trying to sell items on a sketchy marketplace. Sounds dreamy, right?
How Does It Work?
The Freeya app is all about creating a friendly space for both giving and receiving. Users can simply post the items they wish to part with—whether it’s furniture, clothes, seasonal decorations, or even kids’ toys. Other users can browse through these items and scoop them up with just a few taps on their phones. No more lengthy waits or complicated exchanges! With features like scheduled pick-ups and detailed item descriptions, Freeya makes the process as smooth as butter.
Community and Sustainability
One of the standout features of Freeya is its commitment to sustainability and community. Set against the backdrop of Atlanta’s vibrant neighborhoods, the app encourages users to keep items out of landfills while fostering connections among locals. Andrea Kappa, Freeya’s Chief Creative Officer, highlights that it’s not just about exchanging goods—it’s about spreading generosity throughout our communities. She says, “People want their belongings to go to someone who will love and use them”.
The Story Behind Freeya
The idea for Freeya came to life during a family trip when CEO Bryan Kappa found himself sketching out ideas on an airplane napkin. After seeing their kids outgrow a ton of items during the pandemic, the Kappas felt a strong urge to share and pay it forward. Andrea recalls, “We experienced so much generosity with family and friends, and we wanted to pass it on…we wanted to find them a great home.” And thus, Freeya was born.
Welcome to Atlanta, Freeya!
Since opening in Atlanta, the Freeya team has been blown away by the city’s Southern hospitality and its strong sense of community. They’ve even hosted pop-up events like PorchFest to engage with locals and spread the word about the app’s benefits. The Kappas admire the pride Atlanteans take in their neighborhoods and the eagerness to try something new, which perfectly aligns with Freeya’s mission.
Great Deals Await!
To further integrate into the community, Freeya has partnered with Moods Music, a beloved record store in Atlanta’s Little Five Points. With their “Post 10” promotion, users who post 10 items on Freeya will snag a sweet $100 gift card to Moods Music! It’s a fantastic way to encourage responsible decluttering while supporting local businesses—what’s not to love?
