Silver Cross Hospital’s resale store, the Encore Shop, will host a Back to School Sale, Tuesday, Aug. 5 and Wednesday, Aug. 6 from 10 a.m. to 3 p.m.

Some of the items available to purchase include school and office supplies, back packs, binders, dorm room needs and other school related materials. All proceeds benefit Silver Cross Hospital, a not-for-profit health care provider. In addition, beginning Aug. 5, all other items in the store will be half price.

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.
