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.

Celebrate with us at a 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
• Awards

• And a chance to connect with our wonderful community.
