The Salvation Army Celebrates the Grand Opening of Evanston Family Store
The Salvation Army is proud to announce the grand opening of the Evanston Family Store, inviting you to discover the joy of secondhand shopping.
Featuring a remarkable selection of new housewares, designer clothes, and athleisure shoes, this event on November 3rd will not only showcase the importance of thrift shopping but also highlight the unique benefits it offers.
Embrace the Thrift: Why Shopping Secondhand Matters
1. Eco-Friendly Lifestyle: Shopping thrift is a conscious choice that promotes sustainability. By opting for secondhand items, you contribute to reducing the demand for new products, which in turn minimizes the consumption of resources, energy, and water required for manufacturing. Embracing thrift shopping helps combat the environmental impact of fast fashion and encourages an eco-friendlier lifestyle.
2. Affordable Style: One of the most significant advantages of thrift shopping is the opportunity to acquire high-quality items at affordable prices. Our Grand Opening in Evanston will feature an extensive range of new designer clothes and athleisure shoes that cater to diverse tastes and budgets. By shopping thrift, you can build a unique and stylish wardrobe without breaking the bank.
3. Uniqueness and Personal Expression: Thrift shopping allows you to express your individuality through distinctive and one-of-akind finds. Unlike mass-produced items found in conventional retail stores, each secondhand piece carries its own history and charm. By exploring our store’s collection of new housewares, you can add character to your living spaces and create a home that reflects your personal style.
4. Community Engagement and Support: Thrift stores are rooted in local communities, fostering a sense of connection and support.
Your purchases are meaningful and impactful by supporting the local community and those who seek a new lease on life through our Adult Rehabilitation Center. Embracing the world of thrift shopping is a rewarding experience that combines sustainability, affordability, personal expression, and community engagement.
Our new thrift store in Evanston is a treasure trove waiting to be discovered. Join us on this exciting journey and witness firsthand the transformative power of thrifting. Step into a world where every purchase tells a story and makes a positive difference.

ABOUT THE SALVATION ARMY FAMILY STORES
When you donate goods to The Salvation Army, those items are then sold at our Family Stores. The proceeds are used to fund our Adult Rehabilitation Centers, (ARC), where those in the grip of addiction find help, hope, and a second chance at life. In order to support the ministry, the Salvation Army takes discarded items that people donate, recycles them and then sells them in Salvation Army thrift stores.
