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 Campus 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.
