About us
Second Chances
The founding members of Second Chances in Somerville recognized the need for free clothing for people receiving services in their own community, and created a specialized, innovative program to fill that void while developing a way for other community members to volunteer and give locally.
Second Chances' clothing donation program is unique in the way they work almost invisibly through existing service providers, so that the people in need of clothing do not have to go one place for job training and another for benefits counseling and still another for clothing. Second Chances makes their already difficult lives a little easier by delivering the clothing they need where and when they need it.
This allows Second Chances to operate more efficiently as well - they can effectively reach hundreds of people through about fifteen local homelessness and social service providers, by creating an individualized delivery option with each agency.
