A new community market is launching at the events area of Pine Forest Charter in Flagstaff, creating a simple way to host a mini yard sale, art booth, or resale rack. For a $5 contribution, participants can set up a table, and that donation supports Pine Forest Charter School. The market is designed with renters in mind, especially those in apartments without yards or with restrictions on yard sales, and it offers a friendly space to earn a little cash while giving pre-loved items another life instead of sending them to the landfill. Bring clothing, handmade pieces, unique finds, and anything that might be perfect for someone else. Everyone is asked to follow a few easy guidelines that keep the space welcoming for all: pack in and pack out, pick up litter if you spot it, leave the area better than you found it, and show respect for the space, the people, and the mission. If you have ever wished for an easy way to hold a yard sale, this market makes it possible while giving back to a local school.
