Sending Warm Wishes for 2026 from the Second Chances Team 

As we enter the new year, we reflect with deep gratitude on our shared impact in 2025.

Last year, our generous community (that's you!), made it possible for Second Chances to distribute 8,694 items of clothing to 1,364 neighbors in need while keeping 339,349 pounds of textile waste out of landfills. These outfits are more than just clothes - they remove barriers to success, offering dignity, self-expression, and choice, one outfit at a time.

Thank you for helping to ensure that each person who received clothing felt empowered, welcomed, and valued. 

Here’s to a new year filled with hope, compassion, and positive impact!

New year, fresh start!

As you welcome new additions to your wardrobe, please consider donating the gently used clothes you no longer need to Second Chances. By doing so, you’re not just creating space - you’re helping our neighbors on their journeys toward brighter futures.

Since 2005, Second Chances, supported by generous donors and compassionate community partners, has removed barriers to success, empowered communities, and protected the planet - one piece of clothing at a time.

Last year, we celebrated 20 years of turning clotheslines into lifelines, reaffirming our commitment to helping our neighbors while reducing textile waste. As we enter a new chapter, each dollar donated helps Second Chances deliver clothing, comfort, and hope to thousands of people experiencing poverty, housing instability, and crisis each year.
