Hood Mart & We Fight Monsters: Free Goods, Real Hope, Second Chances

What if the price of entry to a store wasn’t cash—but survival?

In this powerful episode of Pulse of the Bluff, we take you inside Hood Mart, a store where everything is free but the stories behind the shelves carry the highest price: homelessness, addiction, and the fight to rebuild. Created by Ben and Jess Owens and powered by the nonprofit We Fight Monsters, Hood Mart offers more than essentials—it offers dignity, connection, and a second chance.

Discover how this unique initiative, backed by lived experience and an army of volunteers from all walks of life, serves as a gateway to recovery, trust, and transformation. From free clothes and furniture to real conversations that spark hope, Hood Mart stands as a beacon for those on the rebound.
