This fascinating gift shop, operated by a group of faithful volunteers, is an non-profit organization created for the sole purpose of "Helping Others To Help Themselves", as well as contributing and supporting local organizations like the Neighborhood Visiting Nurses Association.

Growing With the Community

The Woman's Exchange was started in 1931 by a group of public-spirited members of the Neighborhood League who decided that women in the community should be given an opportunity to increase their incomes by working at home making cooked items and "sewing a fine seam". A small shop was rented on Bloomingdale Avenue in Wayne. Two part-time paid workers and many volunteers sold home cooked products and handicraft items from 50 consignors. The original shop was quickly outgrown and in 1932, the Exchange moved to its present loction at 185 East Lancaster Avenue, Wayne, PA.
