It was so much fun seeing folks who stopped by for repairs, treats, and community. We’re deeply grateful to Patagonia Cambridge and Homme Repair for partnering with us to promote sustainability through textile mending.
On March 23, 2024, Second Chances celebrated its 19th anniversary. As a small organization, we don’t host an annual fundraiser or gathering, but we will definitely celebrate our 20th anniversary publicly!
We extend our deepest gratitude to our incredible community – none of this would be possible without each of you! THANK YOU for your generosity, compassion for our neighbors, and for sharing what you no longer need to benefit others.

It was wonderful to reconnect and celebrate our community in May at Warehouse XI in Union Square, Somerville.
