Free Store

Take what you need, leave what you don't! Started by students in 2014, this space serves as a central. organized, location for the community to drop off unwanted items or pick up something they need - for FREE! Our goal is to reduce waste, save usable items from the landfill, and get items to those that need them. 

 

The UAF FreeStore Has Moved to MBS!

The UAF FreeStore has a new home!

You can now find the FreeStore next to the ¾Ã¾ÃÈÈÊÓƵ Cache at the Moore-Bartlett-Skarland Complex. Free clothing, household items, books, school supplies, and more are available to UAF students and community members.

Getting in is easy: just swipe your Polar Express card to enter, 24/7. No card? No problem! Public shopping hours are Wednesdays 3pm-6pm and Sundays 11am-2pm. 

Stop by, check out the new space, find something you need, and give gently used items a second life (or bring something to donate)!
