Clare Woods
Gift Shop

The Clare Woods Gift Shop in downtown Wheaton is a place to discover student creativity and support learning in action.

117 N Main Street
Wheaton, Illinois 60187

Open Monday- Friday 9:00 am- 3:00 pm

Students in our Transition & Vocational Program help make some of the items you’ll find here.

Depending on their interests and skills, they may sort craft materials, cut fabric for scrunchies, pillows, and blankets, or create beaded jewelry.

These hands-on tasks give students a supportive place to practice vocational skills, build confidence, and work toward greater independence. Stop in to see what they’ve made and take home something special. Your visit celebrates their work, connects them with the wider community, and supports their vocational futures.
