Your contribution to Second Chance, Inc. is more than a donation; it’s a step toward creating opportunities, promoting sustainability, and preserving Baltimore’s rich architectural heritage. As a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization, Second Chance relies on the support of individuals like you to fund programs that give people, materials, and our environment a fresh start. Each gift—whether large or small—helps us provide job training, divert reusable materials from landfills, and transform lives.

Why Donate?

Every donation you make to Second Chance supports our triple-bottom-line mission to build a sustainable future. Here’s how your contribution makes a difference:

Workforce Development

Donations fund our mission to prepare individuals facing employment obstacles for sustainable careers. Through hands-on experience in deconstruction, salvage, warehousing, and retail, trainees gain practical skills and job readiness, setting them on a path to financial independence.

Environmental Impact

Supporting Second Chance means directly reducing landfill waste. Each year, we deconstruct buildings and salvage valuable materials, giving them new life and lessening the environmental burden. Your donation helps us continue these efforts, protecting our community’s resources for future generations.

Community Enrichment

Contributions to Second Chance benefit more than just the environment; they strengthen the Baltimore community. With every job created, material salvaged, and heritage preserved, we build a stronger, more resilient city.

Your donation enables us to expand these programs and continue our mission of providing “second chances” to people, materials, and communities.

How to Donate

There are several ways you can support Second Chance’s mission to retrain, reclaim and renew:

Donate Items

We gladly accept a broad array of gently used items, offering you tax deductions and environmental benefits while fostering job training and preserving local history.

Donate a Building

Your building becomes a valuable resource that helps create jobs, preserve architectural heritage, and protect the environment.

Donate Your Time

Volunteering with Second Chance is a unique opportunity to make a direct impact on Baltimore’s workforce and environment.

Donate Money

The Impact of Your Support

Every donation tells a story of possibility. With the support of our donors, Second Chance has helped hundreds of individuals build stable, sustainable lives through hands-on job training. Your gift creates ripples of positive change, extending beyond individual trainees to their families, communities, and the environment.

The crew that came this morning and took everything l had listed to get picked up. All three guys were very: helpful, kind, and courteous. My experience was top-notch, 10 out of 10! If l need any more big furniture picked up, l will definitely be using you guys again. I will definitely recommend Second Chance to people.

I feel pushed to grow and to become a permanent part of the Second Chance family. What I love most is the people—the coworkers I get to learn from and the amazing customers who shop at our store. We’re not just a thrift store; we’re a community that helps the environment one find at a time. I truly love my job and the people I work with every day.
