Our first clothing drive at Virgin Money was a tremendous success. Staff members donated 486 pounds of clothing, shoes and accessories -- enough to fill a Mini Cooper twice -- to help people in need in the Greater Boston area and support a small, local nonprofit.

We're helping the earth too -- in addition to recycling your clothing, Second Chances recycles all plastic bags and paper packaging thanks to the City of Cambridge's Recycling Program.

Thank you
Second Chances is very grateful to everyone who participated in and helped out with the clothing drive. Extra special thanks to the Unite Committee for coordinating the drive and Su Joun for getting in touch with us.

Our next open clothing drive is in Somerville on June 25th and you can always use our clothing donation bins in Watertown, or in Cambridge if you are a Cambridge resident.

Questions? Email Andrea at andrea@secondchances.org or Helen Payne Watt, MaryAnn McNulty, Lindsay Evans, Rosemary Bond, Lee Murray, or Su Joun internally.

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.
