The Habitat Store is Skagit Habitat for Humanity's biggest fundraiser for building Affordable Homes. The Store sells donated items, and the proceeds from every sale go towards our building projects, which help families find strength, stability, self-reliance, and shelter. There are several projects and positions in the store, including:

greeting customers with a smile "treasure hunting" for our social media accounts organizing, stocking, or pricing items keeping the store clean loading and unloading items for customers helping on the delivery truck

The Store is open Tuesday-Saturday, 10-6.

Help keep Skagit Habitat for Humanity building by volunteering in the store!

Every major appliance donated to the Habitat for Humanity Store needs a special someone to plug it in and ensure its proper operation. Is that you? 

If you would feel a sense of accomplishment by giving a washer, stove, or refrigerator a second chance by ensuring "it works", then we would love for you to join our volunteer team! Help turn pre-loved appliances into funds so that Skagit Habitat for Humanity builds strength, stability, self-reliance, and shelter in our community.  A working knowledge of gas, electrical, and plumbing is a definite plus!
