Encore Resale Shop Spring Opening
Silver Cross Hospital’s resale shop—Encore Shop, will host its Spring Opening Friday, February 28 and Saturday, March 1, from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Some of the items available to purchase include spring decorative items and clothing, jewelry, linen, dishes, silk flowers, glassware, and more. All proceeds benefit Silver Cross Hospital, a not-for-profit health care provider.
The Encore Shop is located in the Hershman Building, 1301 Copperfield Ave., Joliet—on the former Silver Cross Hospital campus. The store is open Tuesdays, Wednesdays, Fridays and the first Saturday of the month from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m. Donations can be dropped off at the Encore Shop in Joliet or in the collection bin outside Silver Cross Hospital in New Lenox.

For over 50 years the Encore Shop has been operated by a volunteer group of women called the Silver Cross Advisory Board. In the past 12 years, the Advisory Board has donated more than $935,000 to Silver Cross for the purchase of a variety of medical equipment. The group recently completed a $75,000 pledge to purchase the water feature in the Dralle Serenity Garden outside the new Silver Cross Hospital at I-355 and Route 6 in New Lenox.
