Second Chances provides free clothing to more than 300 clients of local shelters and human services programs each year.

To donate: Place your clothing, shoes and accessories in a plastic garbage bag (no hangers, please).


What to donate: Second Chances can use just about anything that is still wearable - clothing, shoes and accessories for infants, children, teens, women and men in any size; casual, work and dress styles. We can even make good use of household linens like towels, sheets, tablecloths, and cloth napkins, as long as they are in decent condition. In season, last season, last decade, vintage, unusual clothing - what we cannot use will be recycled or sold to support our operations.


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