General Info
Uhuru Furniture is project of the African People's Education and Defense Fund (APEDF), a 501c(3) non-profit black community led organization. APEDF develops and institutionalizes programs to defend the human and civil rights of the African community, and to address the grave disparities in education, health, healthcare, and economic development faced by the black community. APEDF funds an Uhuru (Freedom) House Community Center in East Oakland and St. Petersburg Fla. to organize around the issues that the African community is confronted with. The Akwaaba Halls are housed at both Uhuru Houses and are available to the community for receptions, funerals and other events for very reasonable rates. Also in Florida there is the TyRon Lewis community gym with aerobics classes, wellness seminars and the Kids Fit Camp plus the Uhuru Jiko commercial community kitchen. APEDF also sponsors many educational programs as well as campaigns for economic development, including health fairs and flea markets.

There's no better place to find absolutely everything. Low prices, great staff and it is an economic development project of apedf.org. I love this place.
Always some interesting stuff. When I moved and needed to replace quite a bit I shopped here, found some good deals, good help and the it helps my community.
One of a kind experience. A must visit, must donate, must volunteer, must get involved, must shop, must take social responsibility type of business. Powerful!
This is my #1 choice of where to buy furniture (even if I don't "need" it.) The selection is great and the prices are phenomenal and the people are outstanding.
I enjoy shopping at Uhuru. The staff is friendly and helpful. The prices are reasonable and the proceeds go to an excellent cause. Plus there is a wide variety of unique and charming used furniture. I recommend you shop Uhuru first!
I get great deals here all the time! Even a baby grand piano! Joel and Mark are great!
I have bought many furniture items from Uhuru. A group of friends and I visits the store almost every Friday afternoon before going to dinner. The people are great, helpful, funny. It's always a pleasure whether we buy something or not.
Uhuru Furniture & Collectibles is one of a few places left where your can find outstanding well-made gently used furniture for a great price. I have purchased everything from French himoges chinz to pottery barn rugs for a song. The staff is wonderful and the cause even more wonderful. Be sure to buy a vegan blackberry pie at their annual pie drive. It will be a spiritual experience!
With today's economy, you owe it to yourself to see what Uhuru is all about, save lots of money, and help humanity.
Great people and environment.
Always new furniture coming in affordable price, not to mention for a good cause. I have often found just what I needed here!
Almost everytime I stop by Uhuru I find something interesting to buy. Sometimes staff people are too busy to help me right away. I bought a large stuffed chair and ottoman at a great price which I enjoy every day.
Once I bought a platform bed and I didn't check it out very carefully. It worked for about one year and then fell apart. But for the price it was still a bargain.
I especially like the way in which knowledgable workers in the store put their heads together and decide on prices.
The people at Uhuru are great and I love shopping with them. Thanks.
Great place to donate your stuff.
The spirit moves in this community of activists - donate everything you have - your time, your money, your furniture - they'll transform your gifts into right action, right righteousness to our brothers and sisters here and in africa.
I volunteered and had a great time. Great way to get out and help this super organization. Everyone is very cool and appreciative. Lots of unique furniture and collectibles.
Great place with unique and intriguing pieces. Can't beat the prices.
Every time I come in I find a surprise and end up taking something home with me. Even when I do not find what I have come for it is always a serendipitous experience as the unexpected is always waiting for me.
The website was great, store service excellent & prices the best.
I���ve stopped at Uhuru Furniture for those ���gotta have but don���t want to buy new��� items. For some reason, they have what I need ��� whether it���s a bed frame, bedside table or the perfect funky lamp, I always look at Uhuru first.
The store always has a variety of items. Love the customer support. Holiday pies are always great! And a good way to support the foundation
