What They Sell
HomeStore specializes in home improvement materials, furniture, appliances, and household goods donated by community members and local businesses. Shoppers regularly find quality furniture pieces, working appliances, home décor, tools, building supplies, and sometimes even architectural salvage items. Since inventory depends entirely on donations, the selection varies dramatically from week to week, but the focus remains on items that help people create comfortable, functional homes. The store particularly excels in offering larger household items that other thrift stores might not accommodate.
