At Second Chance Inc., we believe in the incredible power of repurposing and reusing. We’re thrilled to accept a wide variety of items—everything from furniture and building materials to “oddities” and historic relics—and transform them into life-changing opportunities for people who need a second chance in the workforce.

Don’t worry if you think your donation is a bit unusual; we love oddities, vintage finds, and even historical curiosities! In most cases, if something is in good or excellent condition, we can put it to use in our store to support our mission.
We know these treasures were important to you. Our team takes pride in carefully picking up, loading, and transporting your donated items to our store to maintain their value.
For the quickest and easiest scheduling, simply complete the online donation form. It works best in the Google Chrome browser, and we highly recommend including clear photos and detailed descriptions of your items so we can accurately assess them.
You should receive a confirmation email soon after submitting the form. If you don’t see it in your inbox or spam folder, contact us by phone (410-385-1700) or email (donations@secondchanceinc.org) for assistance.
Our trucks typically run between 7 a.m. and 2 p.m. on weekdays, and our crews will coordinate a convenient time to collect your donation. Please be prepared to meet them or have the items easily accessible if you can’t be present.
