Plush figure:Homer, Habitat for Humanity Limited Edition Plush Dog

Habitat for Humanity, a nonprofit organization, draws together volunteers to construct low-cost housing in troubled communities and makes the housing available to individuals in need. Begun in 1976 in Georgia, the organization has grown to provide housing in 70 countries around the world. As a charity, Habitat relies on contributions from the general public, and it gave its many donors a little Homer plush dog as a means of thanks.
