Nancy Bissell and Gordon Packer began the Primavera Foundation in the 1980s to serve as a shelter for Tucson’s growing unhoused population. They wanted to tackle the root causes of the problem. Since then, the organization has focused on creating pathways out of poverty through housing, workforce development, homeownership and financial education. They also work on comprehensive community development. Join Foundation CEO Tisha Tallman to hear about her advocacy for individuals, families and communities at the intersection of poverty, homelessness and race/ethnicity at the Primavera Foundation.

In addition to helping unhoused youth achieve academic success, YOTO also helps students with obstacles they face, such as housing insecurity and the transition to adulthood. Join Bethany Neumann of YOTO to learn more about their important work.

We are having our spring Rummage Sale for UNICEF!
This year we do not have a specific cause that we are supporting. There are just too many crises around the world that need urgent help. We will let UNICEF decide how best to use the funds generated by this sale.
You can find all kinds of exotic and wondrous items at our rummage sales. We will have beautiful jewelry, clothing, home decor and lots of folk art from around the world. It really is a great time and your support helps a very important cause, so please stop by!
We will accept only CASH or CHECK, as the sale is outside where we have no access to electricity. The sale is held directly in front of our store on the sidewalk and in the parking lot.
ALL SALES ARE FINAL.
