ORONO — Home furnishings left behind in residence halls during student move out will be sold at discounted prices during the University’s Clean Sweep Sale from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Friday, May 22 and from 8 a.m. to noon on Saturday, May 23 at the Alfond Arena.
The proceeds for the sale will support the Black Bear Exchange food pantry, Black Bear Mentors program for local children, community service projects and other offerings from UMaine’s Bodwell Center for Service and Volunteerism. Students were informed about the program ahead of the event and encouraged to donate items they no longer need.
Returning from a two-year hiatus during renovations at the Alfond Arena, the sale will feature used furniture, organizers, decorations, appliances, bedding and clothing, as well as a limited selection of excess campus furnishings. Items will be priced and cash and card payments will be accepted. A pickup area will be designated for large items and delivery will be available on Friday by donation.
Attendees are encouraged to park in the Dunn, Corbett and Steamplant lots, as well as the north side of the arena by the Tau Kappa Epsilon (TKE) house. The Bear Necessities Fan Shop will also be open on Friday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
