Second Chances - Upcycle/Recycle

Second Chances - Upcycle/Recycle Giving Life to the Old to Make it New Every day we throw away items that could find a second chance at life in another home.

By gathering these items we can shrink the amount of one person’s trash and bring joy to another person as treasure. We are then able to provide much needed funds to organizations in our communities.

10 plus years ago, I noticed the amount of items that seemed to making its way into local dumpsters that were in perfect, usable condition or that could be upcycled ( i.e. taking something old, worn,

and making it new by revamping it into something different and usable.). Having been a single mom for 8 years, I personally understood how hard times could get and how much a chair to sit on can be appreciated by someone who may work hard, yet find they could only pay the bills and keep food on the table. My initial idea was to gather items at the end of garage sales, the over flow from local thrift shops, and the endless supply of spring cleaning adventures, in one building and offer them to the needy in our communities for free. After several months of my new adventure and feet pounding the sidewalks (my head sometimes too) trying to find donations to help with the cost of warehouse rent, utilities, fuel, etc., I opted for a new plan as plan A just wasn't working. Plan B
Plan B took shape in the form of opening a physical store (the same month I was married, yes, call me crazy as that also meant moving that month) which has been in business for approx. 9 years and has expanded beyond my dreams. What was once the home of only off cast items has now become the home to gently used items, as-well-as a boutique quality gifts and upcycled creations. Now we are moving on to Plan C..... NOT because plan B failed but because we want to expand..... and adding an online presence. We found that we have some items that we would love to offer to a larger buyer base. If you would like to hope on board with us we would love to have you help us give an item a Second Chance at life.

✨ SAME SECOND CHANCES… JUST A NEW CHAPTER! ✨

After almost 13 amazing years, Second Chances is making a BIG change. ❤️

As many of you know, our physical store has been closed for the past 18 months. After lots of thought, prayer, and probably more than a few conversations that started with “Okay… but what if we…” 😄, we’ve decided that the store will not be reopening in the way you remember it.

And surprisingly, we’re excited about what comes next!

We truly believe God has different plans for us in this season. Our children, our families, our health, and the four homeschoolers who somehow believe they need our attention EVERY DAY 😂 are where we need and want to put more of our time.

We also have some pretty amazing kiddos with wonderfully unique personalities and needs, and both of us deal with our own share of those invisible health struggles that don’t always cooperate with a store schedule.

So after nearly 13 years, we’re giving ourselves permission to do things a little differently.

But here’s the important part:

SECOND CHANCES IS NOT GOING AWAY! 🎉

Oh no. We still have THOUSANDS AND THOUSANDS of treasures looking for their second chance and we plan to keep finding homes for them!

You’ll find us through:

🛍️ Facebook listings
📦 eBay
💜 Vinted
🎥 WhatNot
✨ Etsy
🏡 Occasional yard sales
…and whatever other fun avenues we discover along the way!

Local purchases can still be picked up at our current location.

♻️ AND YES WE WILL STILL ACCEPT DONATIONS!

Keeping usable things out of the landfill has always been an important part of Second Chances, and that isn't changing. If you have items that need a second chance instead of a trip to the dump, just send us a DM and we'll see if we can arrange it.

For almost 13 years, you have shopped with us, donated to us, told your friends about us, laughed with us, supported us, and helped make Second Chances what it is.

Thank you. Truly. ❤️

We're not saying goodbye.

We're just trading regular store hours for a little more family time, a little more flexibility, and a whole lot of “Where are we going to list ALL THIS STUFF?!” 😂

So stick around.

Second Chances is still here.
It just looks a little different now. ♻️❤️

And really… isn't giving something a new life what Second Chances has always been about?

After a year of ups and downs and being closed. We aren't sure what is in store for Second Chances. Many have asked if we will reopen and when. Honestly, we aren't sure. We have been discussing that for some time now.

This isn't about our customers, or the store not "making" it. This is about us, our family, our health and our time.

If we make the choice to reopen it will only be a day or two a week and not until this summer.

Keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We continue to pray that God puts a glaring sign right in front of my face. Sometimes I am difficult haha.
