A Family Dollar where the family gets the dollars back.
Dan Bingler took an abandoned Family Dollar in the Lower Ninth Ward and made it a shop where everything is free.
Dan Bingler bought a derelict Family Dollar building in New Orleans' Lower Ninth Ward and reopened it as a free store, where neighbors take what they need at no cost. The shop, which he runs with volunteers and donated goods, has become a gathering place for a neighborhood still rebuilding two decades after Hurricane Katrina. He says the only requirement is that visitors treat each other with respect.
