Why Resale?

Resale is a growing trend worldwide.

As people are becoming more environmentally aware, resale is becoming the new trendy way to shop. For every second-hand garment purchased, one less new one is produced. Resale shops keep clothing out of landfills thus helping to preserve water and other natural resources. Beyond that, resale is fun. Treasures can be found around every corner at a fraction of their retail cost.

The Resale Shop is a 501(c)(3) organization, so with every purchase made you are helping people in need in the St. Louis area. All proceeds benefit NCJWSTL’s community service and advocacy projects that improve the lives of women, children and families in our community including:
