WINGS Resale wins National Award and Reports Highest Sales Ever

WINGS Resale had an amazing year!

  • Won a 2023 national Purple Ribbon Award for Outstanding Thrift Shop of the Year.
  • Recorded the highest sales since the first store opened in 2000 – $2,727,879!

WINGS operates 3 Resale Stores in the Northwest Suburbs. We have a sister store in Chicago.

We have developed mutually beneficial supply chain relationships, including Vans and North Shore Exchange, who continually provide high quality merchandise.

Every donated item goes to a survivor, a store, or a recycling service.

Survivors shop for their own clothing and personal items through gift cards.

When clients move into housing, they can select furniture and housewares to be delivered. This year, WINGS Resale provided $39,674 worth of items to clients.
