YWCA Shop for Good
Note: We are joining with other businesses in our community, and we are closing our Shop for an indefinite period of time.
With extra hours at home, we encourage you to clean out your closets and go through your shoes, handbags and jewelry to see what you may be able to donate to the Shop for Good. We will not be able to accept donations until we reopen, but will welcome your additions then! Profits support essential domestic violence services for women and their children — services which continue at YWCA Evanston/North Shore throughout this difficult period of time.
We invite you to stay in touch with us on social media. Sign up for Shop on the column to the left to get notifications delivered to your inbox, and email us anytime at ywshop@ywca-ens.org.
YWCA Shop for Good is a social enterprise for YWCA Evanston/North Shore located at 1107 Central Avenue in Wilmette, Illinois.
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 shop is made possible through your donations, and 100% of profits help support YWCA’s domestic violence and economic empowerment programs for women across northeastern Cook County.
We sell new and gently used women’s clothing, outerwear, shoes, boots, purses, jewelry, and accessories. We get new donations daily, and offer a designer section which is continuously restocked with up-to-the minute prestige-label clothing and accessories in excellent condition. We often have brand-new items with manufacturers’ and store tags still attached.
Come and visit! Here are the kind of great items you can expect to find right now — with thanks to our fantastic volunteers for modeling:
Your donations of gently used clothing help support our domestic violence and economic empowerment programs for women. We are always in need of donations of new and gently used women’s clothing, footwear, accessories, and jewelry. We can no longer accept housewares or men’s or children’s clothing.
Donations are accepted during store hours:
- Tuesday through Thursday, noon to 5:00 pm
- Friday and Saturday, 10:00 am – 5:00 pm
- Closed Sunday and Monday
Deliver to the door at the rear parking lot off 11th St. Or, call for pickup at 847.853.8888.
Donations are tax-deductible and donation forms are available at the store.
YWCA Shop for Good is a great place to volunteer! You’ll meet lots of people, get to know our ever changing inventory (and maybe model some clothes!), and contribute to a social justice organization that serves 16 communities across the North Shore.
If you have a sense of fashion and skills in retail customer service, consider interviewing to join our volunteer team. Volunteers must be willing to commit to a 2-1/2 hour afternoon shift once a week and one 3 hour Saturday shift each month. Come help us sort, price clothes, and work with customers!
Stop by or email us at ywshop@ywca-ens.org for information about volunteer opportunities.
