Charitable Donations in Cincinnati? Give Back While You Shop at Legacies Upscale Resale
Legacies is Cincinnati’s premiere consignment shop. Even better, each purchase helps people affected by cancer and their families. Because we donate at least half of each sale to Cancer Support Community of Greater Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky (CSC), our guests make charitable contributions with every second-hand treasure they find!
Our Story
In 1994, a dozen women opened a store selling donated and consigned home furnishings to benefit The Wellness Community, which became CSC.
From a tiny shop off Hyde Park Square, we quickly gained a reputation for reasonably-priced, high-end merchandise benefiting a great cause.
In 2002, we moved to Hyde Park Plaza, and in 2009, to our present location with over 10,000 square feet of display space.
We love being able to give well-made, good-condition items a second life, while helping people cope with a difficult illness.
Legacies provides a way for Cincinnatians to help others through an exciting shopping experience that often pays off with a great bargain!

Whether you are looking for antique, vintage or contemporary items to enhance your home or your personal sense of style, we have something for everyone!
People feel great about stopping in for 3 reasons:
- The quality is high, but the prices are low.
- Purchases give people affected by cancer tools and hope.
- You help the environment by keeping still-useful items out of the landfill.
How Your Donations, Consignments and Purchases Help Others
Legacies contributes over $200,000 to CSC annually. Those monies come from
- Donated items (100% of our income when donations sell goes to CSC) and
- Consignments (We split the income when consignments sell between consignors and CSC).
Our sales staff is all volunteer, so we have very little overhead.
If you are downsizing, relocating or redecorating, Legacies is the ideal place to recycle your furnishings—and maybe find fresh new ones!
Every time you donate, consign or buy, you are helping people affected by cancer.
