Thursday September 10 2009 represented a new chapter in the history and growth of the Greater Wheeling Area Youth Outreach.

That day GWAYO opened its Hidden Treasures Shop in Prospect Heights.

You will find everything you need there from furniture, clothing, housewares, books, CD’s, videos, and toys.Because the mission of GWAYO is “committed to empowering young people from lower income families with the opportunities, skills, and vision to achieve long-term dreams and goals”, the store is priced to help those very same families and young people find nice quality items at affordable prices (most clothing sells for between $1-5).All proceeds of the store benefit what is happening in the back 4,000 square feet of the space.

GWAYO's first Resale shop was open in Arlington Heights since July 2008.
