What’s Inside Willow Tree
Willow Tree is many things: a community resource, a historic house, a passionate network of volunteers, and so much more. But the Willow Tree house is also home to some amazing businesses and collectives that work tirelessly in their disciplines to support the Lansing birth and family communities.
The Willow Tree Free Store
One thing you can find inside Willow Tree Family Center is our community free store. The free store houses everything from maternity clothes and nursing bras to pumps, stroller, toys and baby clothes. The free store is open whenever classes are occurring at Willow Tree, however, arrive early as teachers cannot assist during class times, so it is self-serve shopping if a class is in session. We are working on scheduling regular hours. If you are a volunteer and would like to host regular free store hours, please contact us. The store can also be opened by appointment if our volunteers have availability. During the CommUNITY of Families Festival it becomes a free garage sale on the lawn!

Willow Tree is also home to the Lansing Doula Network. The LDN is a collective of diverse certified professional doulas who serve Lansing and the surrounding areas.
