Please join us for our next FREE Buy Nothing Project giveaway event (like a FREE flea market, garage sale, swap meet) hosted by the Buy Nothing Columbia Heights, Hilltop, Southern Fridley group, @HeightsNEXT and @Columbia Heights Park and Recreation. Thank you to the Park and Recreation Commission and our sponsor, Rock Solid Construction, for making this event possible.
If you have items you want to give away for FREE, please bring them during set up from 4:00 pm to 5:00 pm and place them at your table (tables provided and assigned as people arrive). DO NOT COME EARLY as there is a different event prior.
You do NOT need to remain at your table during the event as everything is gifted for free. Feel free to "shop" or mingle. You DO need to make sure everything you have left is removed at the end of the event.
If you only have up to one medium-sized box of items to gift and cannot attend, please contact the Admin to arrange placement at the community table.
You can browse and look for items at other tables during the event STARTING at 5 pm. DO NOT START taking or gifting items before we make an announcement to start at 5 pm. There will be plenty of interested people and plenty of time to shop.
All items are for PERSONAL USE and are NOT for sale or resale.
We have some bags available to carry your new items but feel free to bring your own as well. Reusable bags are wonderful. You may also donate paper and plastic bags for use at the event.
At the end of the event at noon, you MUST take any of your remaining items and bring them home or donate them. Places you may want to consider donating to include SACA Thrift, Savers, Salvation Army Family Thrift, Hidden Treasures, Goodwill, and Little Free Libraries (our group lists local LFLs, including specialty focused ones like the Fibrary, the Pet Library, the Blockbuster Library, and the Comic Library, on a Google Map available at https://www.google.com/maps/d/u/0/edit?hl=en&mid=1eCtcXol0bBNXcnJPRZz0qGzBrni4t40&ll=45.050083101263894%2C-93.24922519999998&z=13).
Children are welcome, but they are your responsibility. Please keep an eye on them while they are in the gifting area so they do not make a mess of the tables.
Q&A
1. Tables and, if needed, chairs are provided free to those gifting and are assigned as people arrive. You may share a table with a friend (or make a new friend) if you have room at your table.
2. Load in and set up is from 4 pm - 5 pm. You can bring your own cart, wagon, etc. to move your items more easily.
3. Please only bring items that will fit on, under, or around an 8-foot folding table. You may bring a photo of larger items with your contact number to arrange pick up outside the event or post it on the local Buy Nothing group or the Buy Nothing app.
4. Please do NOT bring items you do not intend to give away for FREE (these items may be taken by mistake as this is an entirely free event). It would be best to keep those items at home, on you, or in your car.
5. Please do not bring food items to this event (you may post on your local Buy Nothing group, the Buy Nothing app, or bring to Southern Anoka Community Assistance - SACA).
6. All of your remaining items MUST leave with you at the end of the event at 7pm. Please have all your items out by 7 pm.
7. The Buy Nothing Group will host a community table if you have up to one (1) box of items and are not available to attend the event to host your own table. We will do this to accommodate those who need it and cannot attend. Please message the admin or event co-hosts to arrange pick up or drop off of items in advance.
8. Please be respectful - take only what you will personally use in your home. This event is not to provide you with items to sell or resell.
9. The event is open to the public to select items starting at 5 pm. Please DO NOT give or take items prior to 5 pm start time.
10. Please feel free to invite your family and friends!
Feel free to let us know if you have any other questions.
We're excited to see each other in person, clear up clutter from our homes, share our unneeded items with our neighbors, keep things out of landfills, and, of course, find cool new things!
See you there!
