South Puget Sound Habitat for Humanity Store — Local services in Yelm

I do not suggest patroning this organization or donating anything again. When you donate items for free, last thing you want to see those items being listed at near new prices. I found a prehung glassed exterior door with a rotted out frame and a list price of 75.00. ??? I found a comparable door at home depot for 125.00.

Prices seem a little high but again this is donations for Habitat Humanity but they have lots of paint they have furniture boy if you're looking for a new frame for your bed they've got about 25 of them today man wood products they have appliances they have lots of individual construction stuff new and used...
