Our Year End Clothing Drive at the MATCH School was a tremendous success. The MATCH School community and friends donated 425 pounds of clothing, shoes and accessories to help people in need in Somerville and Cambridge while supporting a small, local nonprofit.

Through the City of Cambridge's Recycling Program, Second Chances is able to recycle all plastic bags and paper packaging from these drives as well.

Thanks to all who donated and helped out, especially Erin Tsukamoto for coordinating everything.

Have a great summer!

Other ways you can help
Second Chances is entering its third year of operation and our needs are still immense. Right now, our biggest obstacle is funding - while we can operate on a small scale with volunteer labor and donated space and materials, we need to raise the funds to staff our program and become fully operational. Second Chances can benefit from financial contributions to support and expand our programs and operations. Financial contributions are 100% tax-deductible.

If you are interested in making a financial contribution, please send it to us separately.
