Do you have a "Goodwill pile" in your trunk that you've been meaning to donate? Did you just do your spring cleaning and now you need to get items out of your garage? Instead, bring it to the Buy Nothing FREE YARD SALE! There will also be a clothing swap inside the church at the same time!
This is a Buy Nothing gifting event held outside in a parking lot. You pull in, open your trunk, and display items that you are willing to gift to other members of the community! You are not required to bring anything in order to take stuff, limit how much you take, etc, but we hope everyone will make the most of the event!
By attending this event, you acknowledge the following:

1.) Everything you bring to gift is free! There will be no exchanging of objects or money of any kind.

2.) You will help us leave the area as we found it. Crosswind Church has been very kind to let us utilize their parking lot, and we hope we can keep a positive relationship in order to have more events in the future! If you do not gift all your items, please be sure to take them with you or make other arrangements for them so that nothing is left behind.
3.) We recommend only keeping items in your trunk or set up that you intend to gift. We do not want anything mistaken as a gift!
4.) You are welcome to bring a lawn chair, snacks, or anything that might make you comfortable during the event. We will not be accessing the facilities or restrooms during this event, so please be sure to be prepared and dispose of any trash appropriately.

Thank you for being part of the Buy Nothing community!
FAQs:
1. WHERE DO I PARK?
If you are only coming to look, please park in the lot in front of the church. If you are going to set up your items to gift, pull in past the church to the lot on the side that overlooks 27.
2. WHAT TIME?

The event is from 9am-12pm. In the past, people have arrived early to set up. We ask that you please do not arrive before 8:30. If you arrive after 9 and have items to set up to gift, please drive carefully and slowly as people are walking around.

3. WHAT IF IT RAINS?
We keep an eye on weather forecasts, but acknowledge that they can change. If heavy downpours or hazardous conditions are expected, we will cancel and reschedule for early summer. If it will be drizzling or intermittent, we will still plan to hold the event. In any case, check in the Buy Nothing group or on the event page for any cancellation information.
4. IS THERE A COMMUNITY TABLE WHERE I CAN JUST DROP OFF MY STUFF?
Please make sure you have made arrangements with someone if you are unable to stay and still want to gift. We do not have a community table as we cannot guarantee that we can manage items that we are not aware are coming.
5. DO I HAVE TO STAY THE WHOLE TIME?
No, come and go as you please! But some people will set up early and others come later, so feel free to stick around and keep browsing!
6. DO I HAVE TO REGISTER?
Nope! Just bring your stuff and set it up, and watch it disappear!
