April 2010 News and Events
Celebrate Earth Day with Second Chances
Wally is green and so are we! By reusing and recycling your clothing, Second Chances diverts more than 75,000 pounds of apparel from landfill each year. We recycle all plastic and paper bags from donations, and most clothing that is not in wearable condition is processed for post-consumer uses like futon stuffing and car mats. Help us help the environment and others in our community by donating clothing or sponsoring a clothing drive:
April Public Clothing Drive (South Station area, Boston)
Celebrate Earth Day, tax day and the arrival of spring by donating clothing, shoes and accessories at The NonProfit Center's public clothing drive. South Station area, April 13 to 30, 2010. Details and directions »
Special Offer from Bow Street Yoga (Union Square, Somerville)
From April 25 through May 16, 2010, donate clothing and enjoy a discount on the wonderful classes at Bow Street Yoga: $5 off a ten-class pass or $2 off the drop-in rate. Details and directions »
Upcoming Public Clothing Drive (Union Square, Somerville)
We'll be at the Somerville Community Growing Center on Wednesday, June 23, 2010 from 5 to 7 p.m. with some very special guests. Details in June.
Special Thanks
This month, more than ten local businesses, families and organizations are celebrating Earth Day and supporting our work. We are so grateful and more than a little overwhelmed! Results will be posted next month.
The latest news, events and clothing drive results are updated regularly at www.secondchances.org, so check in often.
Best regards,
