Columbia flood survivors shop for free at Holiday Pop-Up Shop

The city of Columbia on Friday evening opened a weekend Holiday Pop-Up Shop for flood victims.

Working in conjunction with K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers, the store at Dutch Square Mall is offering free shopping just in time for the holidays, which this year will be a struggle for some.

Since 1985, K.I.D.S./Fashion Delivers has gathered new product donations from suppliers and retailers in the fashion, home and children’s industries, then delivered them to people in need worldwide.

Weekend hours: 10 a.m.-6 p.m. Saturday, 1-5 p.m. Sunday

A must: Shoppers must bring a FEMA letter to get in.

What’s there: New toys, furniture, comforters, sheets, pillows, books and clothing
