HabiStore

Did you know that the HabiStore is changing the world one couch at a time? Did you know that by selling surplus new and used building and home improvement materials, appliances and furniture to the public the HabiStore is diverting more than 150 tons of material from the landfill each year? Did you know that usable materials, donated by retail businesses, contractors, individuals, and other organizations are sold at below cost prices and that the proceeds from the HabiStore fund the Habitat Tucson mission of eliminating poverty housing within our community? Take your surplus plumbing and electrical supplies, appliances less than 10 years old and in good working order, tools, hardware, furniture, and general construction materials to the HabiStore, and have a look around. You may find exactly what you need for your next project…and tell them Mrs. Green sent you!
