About Free Bird Cafe CNX Donation Center and Thrift Store
Established in 2009, this social enterprise donates 100% of its profits to the Thai Freedom House Foundation, supporting refugees and internally displaced people along the Thai–Myanmar border and in conflict-affected areas of Burma. Assistance includes education, emergency food aid, medicine, cookware, and essential supplies. Approximately 99% of donated items are distributed directly to those in need, while 1% is sold in the shop to generate funds for purchasing requested and necessary goods. Profits from the restaurant, gift shop, and thrift store are consistently directed toward supporting vulnerable communities in the region. For this anniversary event, the focus is dedicated specifically to menstruation and period care support.
Support in spreading the word is warmly appreciated. Invite friends in Chiang Mai and share across social media channels to help amplify the power of community.
