We’re actively collecting donations to build our June and July Sidewalk Sales—one of our most impactful fundraising events of the year.
When you donate to North Shore Exchange, your items become part of something bigger. We sell donated pieces at our Sidewalk Sale and in our stores, with 100% of profits supporting Chicagoland nonprofits addressing poverty, homelessness, and community need.

We’re collecting resale-ready pieces to help make this year’s Sidewalk Sale our best yet.
Handbags & Purses
Totes, clutches, crossbodies, and everyday bags.
Jewelry
Costume and fine jewelry, watches, and statement pieces.
Designer Accessories
Sunglasses, belts, scarves, hats, and small leather goods.
Contemporary Clothing
J.Crew, Zara, Lululemon, H&M, and similar brands.
Men’s Pieces
Men's accessories and jewelry in great condition.
Furs
Vintage and modern furs, clean and wearable.

Resale-Ready, Please
To keep the sale easy to shop and beautifully curated, we ask that all donations arrive clean, wearable, and ready for their next owner.
Best Left Out
A quick edit before you donate helps our team process items faster and keeps the sale experience polished.
How to Donate to the Sidewalk Sale
Two simple ways to get your items to us.
Donation Receipts
For Tax Purposes
Donation letters are available for tax purposes at the time of drop-off or pickup. Just ask our team when you donate, and we’ll be happy to provide one.
Donation vs. Consignment
Looking to Earn Instead?
Donations help us build our Sidewalk Sale and support our mission. But if you have higher-value designer pieces, consignment may be a better fit.
With consignment, you can earn up to 85% of the selling price—while still supporting Chicagoland charities.
Learn About Consigning →Donate
Best for pieces you’re ready to give, especially items for our Sidewalk Sale.
Consign
Best for designer, luxury, or higher-value items you’d like to earn from.
Clear Space. Create Impact.
Your donations help us build one of the most anticipated sales of the year—and directly support Chicagoland communities. Questions? Contact donations@northshoreexchange.org
