Effortless giving. Meaningful results.

Every move, renovation, or redesign brings decisions about what to keep, what to store, and what to let go. With Second Chance, your furnishings, art, and building materials don’t have to end up in a landfill or in storage where they lose their usefulness. Instead, they can go on to support job training programs for returning citizens, fuel environmental sustainability through reuse, and strengthen communities across the East Coast. For more than 25 years, donors like you have trusted us with valuable items because we provide the rare combination of professional service and nonprofit mission — an opportunity to create lasting impact without adding stress to your transition.

More than just changing décor.

Your gift doesn’t have to stop at a single room or a single piece. If you’re planning a major renovation or even a complete rebuild, Second Chance can accept an entire structure before demolition. Our professional deconstruction teams carefully dismantle kitchens, bathrooms, flooring, windows, and appliances, reclaiming valuable materials that would otherwise go to waste. This approach not only maximizes the impact of your donation but can also deliver significant tax savings while reducing demolition costs and landfill waste. It’s a way to ensure that every part of your home has a meaningful second life.

Your donation does more than you think.

The true value of your gift extends far beyond the items themselves. Every contribution fuels Second Chance’s mission to train and employ individuals who are rebuilding their lives after incarceration, homelessness, or other barriers to employment. In choosing to donate with us, you’re not only helping the planet by keeping usable goods out of landfills — you’re directly supporting people who are learning valuable skills, gaining steady employment, and creating brighter futures for themselves and their families. That dual impact — environmental and human — is what makes every high-value donation to Second Chance a gift that keeps giving.

You can give a Second Chance to materials, people and the environment.

Whether it’s a single heirloom or an entire property, your donation has the power to create measurable change. With Second Chance, you can expect a professional, white-glove service that prioritizes your convenience, maximizes your tax benefit, and channels your generosity into programs that truly matter. Join the many high-value donors across the East Coast who have chosen to give their items a second chance — and in doing so, given people and communities the same opportunity.
