Second Chances Public Clothing Drive

Wednesday, September 27th | 4:00pm - 7:00pm: Second Chances reuses and recycles clothing, shoes, and accessories so that homeless and lower-income people feel confident and valued as they take their first steps toward brighter futures and, as a community, we can minimize the amount of apparel going into local landfills.Did you know that the average American generates 80 pounds of textile waste each year? That's four or five large garbage bags full!Please help people in need in our community and protect our planet by donating your un-needed clothing, shoes, and accessories to Second Chances.
