Do you work for, own, or know the owner of a Cambridge or Somerville (or nearby) business or organization that has some outdoor or garage space and might be interested in hosting one of our outdoor clothing donation bins? Please introduce us!
Our outdoor clothing donation bins feature vivid and unique artwork reflecting our work.
The donation bins make it easy for community members to recycle their used clothing to benefit the people we serve. They promote a positive, environmentally conscious, and philanthropic image for the host business or organization. Second Chances carefully maintains the bins. If you have a good location for a clothing donation bin, let's talk more!
