Brown Elephant Resale Shops
Howard Brown Health Center in Chicago is one of the nation’s largest LGBT healthcare organizations. The Brown Elephant Resale Shops generate revenue of more than $3 million per year. More than 740,000 items are sold annually at the shops, located in Chicago and Oak Park. The revenue generated by donations and purchases goes directly to help fund the more than 50% of Howard Brown’s clients who are uninsured or underinsured.
Drop-off donations are accepted at any Brown Elephant location from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. daily. Pickups of larger donations, such as furniture or pianos, can be scheduled by calling the Brown Elephant pickup line at 773-549-5943.
While all donations are deeply appreciated, there is a suggested minimum donation for pickup service, and certain items are no longer being accepted.
