YWCA Shop for Good women’s resale boutiques are a social enterprise for YWCA Evanston/North Shore located in Evanston and Wilmette, Illinois.

YWCA Shop for Good Wilmette storefront
YWCA Shop for Good Wilmette is located at 1107 Central Avenue in Wilmette.

When you shop at YWCA Shop for Good, you reduce waste, get more value for your money, AND support your local community.  It’s shopping you can feel good about!

The shops are made possible through your donations, and 100% of profits help support YWCA’s domestic violence, economic advancement, and racial justice programs that serve women across northeastern Cook County.

We sell new and gently loved women’s clothing, outerwear, footwear, purses, jewelry and accessories.  Donations arrive daily and are immediately placed on the floor.  Many of our items are new with tags and we carry a variety of designer brands and unique finds!
