Donate > Clothing

Moving? Cleaning out your closets to make room for new clothing? Your used clothing, shoes and accessories can make a difference in another person's life -- please consider donating what you no longer need to Second Chances.

To donate: Place your clothing, shoes and accessories in a plastic garbage bag (no hangers, please). We can use just about anything that is still wearable - children's, women's and men's sizes; casual, work and dress styles; clothing, shoes and accessories. We can even make good use of household linens like towels, sheets, tablecloths, and cloth napkins.

Please send your donation check separately - do not include it with your clothing donation.

Second Chances presently has extremely limited ability to pick up individual donations. Please use our donation bins in Watertown and Cambridge or come to one of our clothing drives.

Tax-deductibility and documentation: Keep an inventory with the type, condition and number of items in your donation. For more information on the tax-deductibility of your donation and documentation requirements, please see IRS publications 526 and 561, or consult with a tax professional. Second Chances cannot provide tax advice or information.
