We love that WINGS supports women and children. So, when we have things to donate, this is usually…read moreour first choice. I don't think I've ever been in their retail store before, but have dropped off goods many times over the years. We're purging our house of 20 years of accumulated stuff. When you arrive, they have a door for dropping off donations. We've given them clothes, nick-nacks, paintings, glassware, and more. They take everything with a smile. We'll continue to drop off merchandise as we have it. And, perhaps next time we go I'll stop into their store. The reviews are certainly good.

It's easy to drop off donations at their back door which is separate from the store entrance. All items are organized, priced, and resold in the store. Walking around, resale items are very fairly priced and in good condition. Their profits from the store go toward supporting families fleeing domestic violence. What a great way to give back and help those in need! Donation Hours Daily: 10am - 5pm* Tip: They have locations in Schaumburg, Arlington Heights, and Niles. Pro Tip: Check out their daily discount specials before heading over to browse their great selections.

I went into Annie's Resale for the World yesterday not knowing anything more than they were a resale shop. It turns out that their profits go to several charities around the globe educating children, providing food, shelter and emergency relief to families, and strengthening local churches and community programs. A section in the shop is dedicated to photos, books & explanations of the various causes they are supporting. I walked in and Annie greeted me instantly. She was so warm & kind to me and everyone that came through. One gentlemen came in wanting to do consignment and although they don't do that, she was so helpful to him in directing him to another spot. She let me pick a coupon out of a bowl and I got 20% off my order, plus she gave me a 10% off for my next visit. I heard her explain the shop's mission to several people, including myself. They've been open just 10 months and she said the community has been great with supporting them and giving donations. She didn't realize what hard work it is to run a retail store...but I'm sure it more than pays off in the end! I must say they have some great merchandise and it's SO well priced. The selection was very well organized, very clean, tons of brand new items and the prices are just fantastic. I saw a ton of cute earrings for $2 including many new pairs. I found a really cute fall dress for $13 that is in new condition. She was telling me that the donator brought in 6 of the exact same dress and this was the last one - Score! Baby clothes were just $1 each. Their dressing rooms are much nicer than any I've seen in any retail store, let alone a thrift shop. Beautiful curtains on the doors and nice seats inside, beautiful mirrors and decor. I was shocked when I went in to try on my dress! Anyone going to this small shop can be confident they are getting a great price, clean & well worth it merchandise and you should feel warm & fuzzy inside knowing you've helped in some tiny way. Annie's Resale for the World is just across the street from me so I see myself popping in here quite a bit! You can also volunteer here a few hours each week!

You can't tell much from the outside, but inside, you discover the heart of this organization. Yelp needs to know about this place!! This is not Goodwill. It's not a large store filled with tons of kitschy and mediocre clothes. Nothing is broken. There are no holes. There are no disinterested employees. It is small. It is cute. It is a little pricier than typical resale stores. It is hit or miss. But it is amazing. The clothes are high-quality. Books and media are in great shape. The jewelry is exquisite. The staff is so friendly and attentive. And they have dressing rooms! Beautiful dressing rooms with cute curtains and little lamps. And purple! Lots of purple. The thing that really sets this place apart from other resale shops are the partners -- people on missions all over the world. When the items within the shop are sold, the proceeds are donated to different partners across the globe: leaders that are educating children, providing food, shelter, and relief to families, and strengthening local churches and community programs. So if you really want to give back to the community, I mean REALLY give back -- to the world, consider stopping here for some of your purchases or donations.

We came here and looked around briefly and found a few items we liked. A woman was there and greeted us along with a younger gentleman in the other room.

We ended up getting some cute rings for $5 a pop and we all agreed that the woman (Angie I think) was super warm and welcoming. We would come back based on her alone! She was very nice and even told us about another antique-y place near by since we mentioned we were just out shopping at different antique places. Definitely highly recommend checking this place out!

Oh...I dislike having to write this, but I have too. St.Vincent was the place I enjoyed going to…read morejust to escape the world and find some peace and quiet while I hunted and pecked to find deals...not for resale, but for myself. I am not slamming the top manager. He is only trying to make money for the program St. Vincent has to help people in need. As a past reselller, estate sale conductor, a once partner to an estate sale company, I can see things of value...not clothing, I can't stand that. But collectibles. I've noticed new patterns. 1. Prices are up to at least 1/2 the cost of an ebay asking price. 2. Broken collectibles still priced high as if undamaged. 3. Collectible pieces put behind the check out counter holding high prices. 4. A new sneaky practice I only saw at a Goodwill I was a manager at and discountinued, the practice of burying large items of collectible furniture, or marking it sold. To back up this claim, I have seen flippers (you get to recognize them after you see them a slew of times) ask for the manager...ugg...and he comes out and I hear, "Hey...what can you do on the price for this?" The worst piss me off time was when a man walked into the work area the public is not allowed to go in and he came out with the manager. He pointed to a folding MCM dining table, I knew what it was, and the possiblity of it's worth, and it was sold for 10 bucks. Yeah....a cherry/walnut folding dining table for 10 bucks. I've seen Heywood Wakefield dining sets behind chairs (we are talking now in the thousands). 1930s metal cabinets or display cases which bring in a pretty good 200-300 bucks return...sold for 15 dollars. That gets my goat more than anything. Goodwill stopped the practice of that. They do it for themselves now. The people who donate items out of generosity or need, may write things off their taxes. To me, this is against the policy of helping people in need. Yeah, people can say...if you want a deal get there before the flippers...I get it. Today was the 'straw that broke the camels back'. I was going to pick up my meds. I stopped at the store for snits and giggles. I saw two items...no price tag. The lady in front said she would get the manager. Now, she is new I think and have tried to talk with her before. Her attitude is worse than a person with hallotosis, and b.o. at the same time. Her attitude. She placed a price on them which if they were at regular price I would walk. But today was half off day. Score. Yes, I bought them. One for me and one for my daughter. Then I saw a wall coat rack bar. It was 6 feet long made of hard wood. Did i want to buy it for my wall and coats? NO. My bed broke last night and I had to repair the frame. So,I thought, hey, I could buy the rack and support the mission, and save money because I am a person in financial need. It was not priced. The lady who helped me the first time said, it was not marked I couldn't buy it. Then she called the 'manager' I was told it belonged to another piece of furniture. I said, no...it was a wall coat rack. She insisted it was part of another piece of furniture. I remained polite, and respectful. I pulled up a photo of a similar product to 'teach' someone it was not what they thought. It didn't matter. Now the story was, "it is not priced and had to go through the process." exact quote. I looked at her. "Really? You priced these two thing." She just reiterated her excuse. I had felt a feeling I hadn't before. On top of the sneakiness, high prices, and rudeness by this one person, I realized, I can't shop here anymore. I stopped looking for that cool handmade mug by an artesian from Europe. I stopped looking for the depression glass juicer. I stopped looking for Theodore Haviland China, Waterford Crystal, Limoges, Belleck..and more. This store has become a mutant offshoot of Goodwill and Salvation Army. Now, for clothing fine, and that is great for people who wear clothes. I do...lol...but for everything else...it just seems it is not about helping people anymore, but helping those who don't need it (flippers...hey if a person wants to flip, let them register and donate 25% of the profit to St. Vincent) and not helping those who do need help. Not everyone needs to walk in and fill out a form who is in need. Most of us, walk in and look for something to save a few or a bunch of bucks. Oh well...the last of thrift stores for escaping reality is over for me at St. Vincent, which a flipper may enjoy because I might pick up an American Brilliant Cut Glass with a first generation Copley marking which could bring in over $600! I know because I sold a second generation one ten years ago for $250. No more. And to top all this off, is hearing an employee talk about the flippers who come in. Okay fine. But don't rub our faces in it.

Staff were so friendly and helpful; this is really what you want in a shopping experience. I fall at the bottom of their size range and because of my height sometimes have a hard time finding clothes that fit, but I found two beautiful coats (one a Tall!) and an amazing dress, and the total for these three items was less than $130, which is what a new coat might cost at Land's End (the brand of one of the coats I bought here)! I will definitely be back, and will check out the second shop in Rockford when I'm there for the Japanese Gardens. Helpful hint: my GPS told me I had arrived but I didn't see the sign and so circled the building needlessly: it's in the window!
