Really Really Free Market Campbell Park: Volunteer

Volunteer With Us!

Did you know Really Really Free Market Campbell Park is run 100% by volunteers? This amazing monthly event wouldn't be possible without community members like YOU!

Really Really Free Market (RRFM) is a community that provides a collectively organized, non-monetary alternative to the current mainstream economic system. We believe in creating accessible, welcoming spaces where people can meet face to face to share goods, skills and ideas.

What are some benefits of volunteering with the RRFM?
FUN! · GAINING NEW SKILLS · USING CREATIVE SKILLS · MEETING NEW PEOPLE · THE SATISFACTION OF CONTRIBUTION TO A GOOD CAUSE · A LITTLE BIT OF EXERCISE · IN GOOD WEATHER, BEING OUTDOORS! · FREE STUFF

If you are interested in helping on event day at the Really Really Free Market fill in our quick volunteer registration and we'll contact you with future opportunities! Our RRFM happens on the first Saturday of every month in Campbell Park.

Special Roles Available

We're also looking to fill some specific roles. Some of these roles require time outside of the market's regular hours but can be done from home. If you'd like to give back to your community in a meaningful way these are great opportunities!

Transportation Volunteer
Anything remaining at the end of the Free Market will be donated to local charities and organizations (after 4pm). We're always looking for volunteer transporters to help deliver these items to various locations. Transportation Volunteers can pick any charity, community centre or second hand store of your choice. Do you have access to a vehicle or bike, and can transport a trunkful of stuff or even a few boxes or bags at the end of the day?

WHERE IS CAMPBELL AVENUE PARK?

Campbell Avenue Park is on 225 Campbell Avenue, north of Wallace Avenue and south of Antler Street, a 7 min. walk from Landsdowne Station, and a 5 min. walk from Symington bus stop on Dupont Avenue.

Locate Campbell Avenue Park on Google maps.
Or visit here to find more about the park.
PARKING: Last time we checked there was street parking on Campbell Avenue, with a 3-hour limit, which is much more than you will need. However, please check this information for yourself. We are not responsible for parking tickets you might receive if the above information is incorrect.

What is a Really Really Free Market?

A Really Really Free Market is a community-space for sharing – where people bring what they have to give, take what they need. But it's not swapping or trading. It’s kind of like a potluck, but for goods and services--but with an important difference: You don't need to bring anything to take something.

Please check facebook and signs at the market or ask information desk volunteers for quantity limits and visit (time) limits.

Please bring items in boxes, small bags or large clear bags. Use of black garbage bags is discouraged, since we cannot see what is inside the bag when it is handed to us; also we cannot recycle black garbage bags.
