Harvard Habitat for Humanity's Annual Stuff Sale

THE STUFF SALES ARE COMING! THE STUFF SALES ARE COMING! Harvard
Habitat for Humanity is holding its biggest yard sale ever on the
Science Center lawn over four consecutive weekends. Goods include
futons, couches, swivel chairs, dressers, beds, rugs, mirrors, ironing
boards, kitchen tables, appliances and 1,000 more items. We thought
we got a lot of good stuff in 2006, but the volume and quality of the
2007 harvest is the best yet! The reasonable prices support HHH's
mission to provide housing for the homeless. Last year they sold 225
truckloads! This represented over 200 tons diverted from disposal.
This year's Stuff Sales will occur on the dates below. If you want to
arrange a private showing, please email .
Please note that there are no sales at Hingham Street near Western
Avenue this year. Here are Stuff Sale dates:
