Common Love hosts a monthly pop-up for people of all ages, races, sizes, and abilities to explore/find clothing that is gender-affirming and brings joy. Pop-ups are on hold as of August 2026 as we search for a new venue.
We know there is a need in Des Moines (and beyond) for trans, non-binary, and queer people to access clothing in a judgment-free space that prioritizes accessibility. Join Common Love as we create a beloved community where we cherish and support one another with mutual aid.
Our current fundraising goal is $25,000, with any new funds being donated in 2026 going to support our search for a new venue. We are leaving Park Fair Mall on August 31, 2026. With a new venue will come new expenses, such as insurance, rent, moving trucks, etc.
In 2024, we raised a total of $5,214 and purchased 43 binders, 5 gaffs, 3 STPs, 3 packers, 3 breast forms, 2 shoes, 2 pants, 1 dress, 1 shapewear, and 1 bra. We also purchased 5 clothing racks and 3 changing cabanas.
