Bring your unwanted, but useful stuff to give away, or come by to see what’s being offered! Nothing is for sale--everything goes on a first-come first-served basis.

What can I bring/get at the May 14th Freemeet?

Just about any working, reusable item can be dropped off (and taken home!) at the Freemeet, such as:

• gently used clothing
• working appliances and electronics
• books and magazines
• sports equipment
• games and toys
• kitchen items
• office supplies
• arts and crafts materials
• food and cosmetic items, if sealed/unused
• plants
• music (nothing pirated)
• household items (candles, linens, etc)

Please keep items free, legal, and appropriate for all ages (i.e. no pirated software, no weapons, no pornography, no hazardous materials). Due to space constraints, we cannot accept large pieces of furniture. Please limit items to those which can be easily carried away by hand, in a tote bag, or with a grocery cart. Gift tags will be provided for any information you wish to make note of about the item, or if you just want to leave your email address so you can be thanked for your gift.

**Please be sensitive to the allergies of others. Leave animals at home and don't bring excessively hairy or items otherwise well-loved by animals.

All materials left at the end of the day will be donated to charity to the extent possible. Please bring your give-aways NO LATER THAN 3pm--this allows people a chance to go through them and take them home. If you cannot make it in time, contact us for names of charities who will accept your donations.
