FALL PUBLIC CLOTHING DRIVE

As the weather gets cooler and students return to school, the people we serve need clothing more than in the warmer months. For households experiencing poverty, housing instability, and increased transportation and utilities costs, the budget trade-off between school supplies and clothing for growing kids is significant. Your donated clothing enables families to spend their limited funds on other household needs.

We're grateful to the terrific team at Hillman Homes in West Newton for hosting another public clothing drive to support folks in our community this year. You can donate gently used and new clothing, shoes, and accessories for folks of all ages and genders from September 14th to 24th. Click the button below for details and directions.

Can't make it to the West Newton clothing drive? Donate at any of our convenient drop-off locations.

THANK YOU, PARTNERS!

The compassion and care our shelter and service provider partners offer their clients are unsurpassed! Second Chances was pleased to have the opportunity to let them know how much we appreciate them.

In August, Second Chances gathered with our Provider Partners to enjoy some ice cream as we shared our gratitude for their hard work on behalf of folks in our community who are experiencing challenges. Our first-ever Partner Appreciation Ice Cream Social was a sweet success!

 
We're thankful to the team at Forge Baking Company and Ice Cream Bar who outdid themselves as hosts and our tremendous partners at Tufts University who sponsored the event. Thank you!

BRIEFLY SPEAKING

This summer, Second Chances celebrated National Underwear Day on August 5th to highlight our commitment to delivering free, much-needed clothing - including new underwear - to the homeless and low-income clients of 25+ local organizations.

In late August, we learned that Bombas is planning to double its underwear and undershirt donation to Second Chances this fall, allowing us to offer the dignity and comfort of new undergarments to even more people in need in our community.

Deepening our relationship every year since 2017, Bombas has made it possible to distribute more than 14,000 pairs of new socks and underwear to folks in our community. We're grateful to Bombas for empowering our neighbors!

Your financial contribution delivers free, empowering clothing, shoes, and accessories to hundreds of people in need each year.

Thank you for supporting our neighbors!
