Join us in Harvard Square this Saturday, May 18th! Second Chances is partnering with Patagonia Cambridge and Homme Repair to promote sustainability through clothing repair while supporting folks in our community. If you have an item that needs a quick fix or just want to say hello, please join us from 1-4 p.m. We'll also have free snacks and refreshments (including beer and wine).

Free repairs include small patches, buttons, rips, loose stitching, quick hems, and snap replacement and will be offered on a first-come, first-served basis. Limited to one clothing repair per person. We look forward to seeing you there!

NEARLY 20,000 POUNDS COLLECTED!

Major thanks to nearly 30 companies, large residences, schools, and organizations that hosted clothing drives to support folks in our community and reuse and recycle clothing, shoes, and accessories this year (so far)!

Clothing drives can be a fun way to engage your team and community to support others by donating wearable items that are no longer needed. We appreciate everyone who donated and coordinated drives.

Visit our list of clothing drive hosts and results on our website (under News).

If you're interested in hosting a clothing drive, there's more information (under Get Involved).

Please join us in supporting our neighbors while reusing and recycling clothing, shoes, and accessories in our own community!
