About Us

Upscale Rummage exists solely to serve others. We are a volunteer-based, not-for-profit (5013c) resale shop, giving all proceeds to other non-profits throughout Lake and Cook counties.  Additionally, we assist people in need: refugees, people affected by house fires, medical emergencies, incarceration, job loss, and homelessness.

We also assist the planet by keeping usable goods out of landfills.

Find your next treasure here! Housed in a 10,000+ square foot warehouse, Upscale Rummage is set up just like a department store, with over 20 departments, including furniture, rugs, lamps, and artwork. We have an extensive clothing and shoe department, including men’s and children’s, toys, jewelry, antiques, etc. You’ve got to see it to believe it! Before you buy new, check us out. We may have just what you are looking for!  

Volunteers are the heart of our organization. We can't do it without them! Whether you are looking for a one-day project for a group or a regular gig, we have space for you! 

Upscale Rummage has volunteer opportunities for everyone; no experience is needed! Youth groups, seniors, those fulfilling community service hours, and anyone who just wants to have fun!
