April is Earth Month, a powerful reminder that the small, positive actions we take individually can lead to a more sustainable future for everyone.

For 21 years, Second Chances has been collecting, sorting, and redistributing apparel to local shelter and service organizations, ensuring that the clothing you no longer need reaches those who need it most. This process not only supports folks in our community, but it keeps garments in circulation, diverting more than 3.5 million pounds of clothing and textiles from landfills since 2005.

This April, you can celebrate our planet and support our neighbors by donating clothing at several public clothing drives and help raise funds to sustain our program at our first-ever Earth Month Clothing Swap and Drive on April 28. Learn more below.

Your clothing can change lives and reduce waste, during Earth Month and beyond! Thank you for making second chances possible - for clothing, neighbors, and our environment.

Make a positive impact on both our community and the planet this Earth Month by participating in our public clothing drives: 

◊ Somerville: Prospect Union Square - now through April 30 - details »

◊ Cambridge: DivcoWest | Cambridge Crossing - now through April 24 - details »

◊ Somerville and Cambridge: Naveo Credit Union - April 20 to 30 during branch hours - details »

Donate clothing, shoes, and accessories to benefit our neighbors while reducing the amount of apparel going into local landfills. 

We’re grateful to all our clothing drive hosts for their commitment to our neighbors and environment. Sustainability is a community effort, and we couldn’t do it without our partners, donors, and volunteers!
