Second Chances

Second Chances is a free furniture and clothing shop that runs on the generosity of our community. We are a part of the nonprofit, Bridge to Hope. Oswego, NY.

Our current hours are Tuesday to Friday from 1-3 PM, located at 51 E Oneida St. Second Chances Furniture & Clothing is an extension of the ministry, Bridge to Hope. Wade Smith started Bridge to Hope because he felt a call and desire to help men experiencing homelessness find housing, employment, purpose, and value. As Wade continued to grow the ministry, he saw an additional need to serve families locally. Seconds Chances is a free shop for clothing and furniture, open to anyone in need of resources to help them stabilize and move forward. This is another way for program participants and community volunteers to give back, share what they have and build relationships. Second Chances is not only meeting the physical needs of folks, but is passionate about fostering relationships and bringing hope to one person at a time. If you're interested in volunteering, donating, or have any question or concern, please feel free to message us!

This Halloween season, we chose a different route for celebration. Instead of choosing our own costumes, we picked volunteer names from a hat and were challenged to find clothing items from our shop to dress up as that volunteer! The laughter and guesses… something of dreams! We had a blast this week dressing up as one another and laughing all the while!

If you’re looking for something different to do this Halloween, please join our crew over at Elim Grace Church in Oswego from 6-8 pm! They have an amazing Fall Fest happening with carnival games and plenty of candy! 🍭🍫
