Reduce, reuse, recycle – by saving the date for the 2014 Lighten Up Garage Sale! It will take place in Carleton College’s West Gym on Friday, June 20th, 8-5pm and Saturday, June 21st 8am-12pm. Join us!

What is Lighten Up?

Each Spring Carleton College students donate unneeded items to the Lighten Up Garage Sale. Students donate a variety of items including: clothing, winter apparel, furniture, household items, books, bedding, sport equipment, and other fun things! The sale is held every year in Carleton’s West Gym during reunion weekend. The proceeds provide essential funds for community non-profits and also served as an excellent lesson in “green” living!

Where does the money go?

The 2013 sale raised over $30,000 for three local nonprofit organizations:
Northfield Area Special Olympics
The Key: Northfield Union of Youth
Project Friendship
