WINNETKA THRIFT SHOP HISTORY

Initially established in 1912 by Mary Garretson as the Clothing Sales Committee of the Relief & Aid Society, the Thrift Shop was intended to be a source of affordable clothing for people in need in Winnetka, as well as an outlet for charitable donations that could directly benefit the local community.
​
​After initially operating out of the Winnetka Village Hall and then the Winnetka Community House, the Thrift Shop was moved to its current location on Green Bay Road in 1973.
