Celebrating 20 Years of
Turning Clotheslines into Lifelines

For 20 years, Second Chances, with the help of generous donors and compassionate community partners, has removed barriers to success, empowered communities, and protected the planet–one piece of clothing at a time.

THANK YOU to everyone who celebrated with us – both in person and in spirit – at our warm, fun community event featuring:

• Delicious local food from Taqueria El Barrio
• Craft beer and non-alcoholic beverages from Portico Brewing
• Fantastic dessert from Bedford Cupcakes
• Indoor and outdoor games
• DJ Jimi Carter
• Gift bags
• And a chance to connect with our wonderful community.

WBZ/CBS meteorologist Jason Mikell was an engaging and lighthearted emcee and we premiered our 20th anniversary video at the event. Click here to watch it on YouTube!

We were proud to present awards recognizing the contributions of several of the incredible people and partners who make our work possible:

• John McQuillan, Jr. and Triumvirate Environmental — for 20 years of steadfast partnership
• Korinne Manders — for her dedicated volunteer service
• Daniele Levine — for her powerful impact in our shared community

Photos and video soon! Did you catch us on the WBZ early news on Wednesday?

There’s still time to donate and support folks in our community »

We are grateful to Triumvirate Environmental, our partners of 20 years, for their generous sponsorship. Triumvirate’s early support ensures that every dollar raised will pave the way for even greater impact, keeping clothing in circulation and continuing to support our neighbors in need.
