Dorothy Hummel, YWCA Executive Director, is “very excited about this new activity for YWCA. This allows the community to share their belongings with others in need, shop for free items and increase sustainability. Our open air Pop Up Thrift Store provides an opportunity for donating, shopping and volunteering—a win on all fronts.”
YWCA will comply with directives outlined in the Restore Illinois plan set out by the State of Illinois. All attendees must wear face masks and observe social distancing measures. YWCA may limit the number of shoppers at one time in compliance with Covid 19 directives. If shoppers do not have face masks, one will be provided.
If you have any questions or wish to assist with the Pop Up Thrift Shop, please contact YWCA of Alton at 618.465.7774 or email us at info@altonywca.com.
