This is a call for volunteers for the 2026 Really Free Market. Please consider joining Summer Sessions in hosting the 15th annual market on Saturday, May 16, on the UAF ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓÆµ in the Lola Tilly parking lot. As in past years, the drop-off of clean, safe, and usable items is from 8-10 a.m. The market itself is open from 10-11 a.m., and cleanup usually begins about 11 a.m.

Volunteers are needed to:

  • unload and sort items as they arrive
  • keep traffic moving safely through the lot
  • be of assistance and keep an eye on the public while they scoop up all the great stuff
  • help clean up as the event winds down

The volunteer sign-up sheet is or by emailing juellags@gmail.com.

This is an amazing annual event for our community, and volunteers are welcome for all or part of the day.
