Pass It On Thrift Center

The Pass It On Thrift Center is located in Crestwood, IL near Chicago Christian High School. A group of dedicated parents and grandparents opened the center in October 1999 with the sole purpose of supporting Christian education at Southwest Chicago Christian Schools. The center has gone through several expansions and renovations and is still going strong. Proceeds are gifted to SCCS with the express intent of keeping tuition accessible for our families. We are not aware of any other thrift store that provides this level of support, year after year, to a private school. This support would not be possible without dedicated volunteers.

For the 2022/23 school year,
Pass It On has pledged a gift of $750,000!

Sort Nights

Thousands of pounds of clothing and soft goods are donated to Pass It On every year. Sort Nights are set up for volunteers to make a first pass at sorting these items. We hold Sort Nights most Monday and Wednesday evenings from 6 to 9pm. Parents and families from Southwest Chicago Christian Schools and Chicago Christian High School are asked to volunteer at several Sort Nights every school year. High school students are welcome. Younger students may attend with their parents when they are mature enough to help in the sorting process.

Sort Nights Are Fun! Who can you get to join you?
