We are Passionate About Our Work
We strive to provide our customers with the highest quality
Habesha Stooping Club is a grassroots initiative rooted in love, culture, and mutual care. We gather used clothes, school supplies, books, furniture, and more from generous community members—and we give them back to students in our community, no strings attached.
We believe that no student should struggle because of a lack of basic resources. Our mission is to create a circular system of generosity—where nothing goes to waste, and everything flows back into the hands that need it.
Inspired by the NYC “stooping” culture, where people leave items on the street for others to take freely, we reimagine it through a Habesha lens: purposeful, dignified giving that strengthens community bonds and empowers the next generation.

Our Mission
The Habesha Stooping Club exists to collect gently used items from our community—clothes, school supplies, books, and more—and redistribute them for free to underserved Habesha students. Our goal is to reduce waste, promote sustainability, and create a culture of shared care, where generosity and dignity go hand in hand. We believe that when we support each other, we all rise together.
