Hello Friends -  

 

Here at Second Chance Inc. we live to give.  Whether it's creating skilled jobs and training employment-challenged workers to fill them, salvaging our collective architectural history, providing discounted materials to the public, or protecting the natural environment, we're relentlessly focused on benefiting others.  We figure you are worth it!  

 

The reality is, however, that we need others to give to us, so that we can continue to give to others.  To facilitate as many meaningful "second chances" as possible, we cast our net as wide as possible.  We receive funds from foundation grants and private donations, from the sale of salvaged and donated materials in our retail outlets, and through Funded Deconstruction--the SCI program that enables property owners to receive generous tax benefits by funding us to train workers to deconstruct their buildings, rather than them being demolished and disposed of in landfills.  Because of the magnitude of our mission, every person can play a role and every donation is valuable!    

 

With that in mind, please read the various tidbits in this newsletter.  They highlight some of our needs, along with some ways you can help meet them.  For more about why you should consider contributing to us as well as various web forms to facilitate your contribution, visit the Donation Pages on our website.  There you'll find that we are interested in more than just your money.  Still, keep in mind that Second Chance is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization.  Any gifts--monetary or material--are tax deductible.   

 

We are grateful for your continued generosity... without it we could not continue to be so generous ourselves! 

   

Your Second Chance Team

Give Your Vehicle a Second Chance!  

Van, SCI
  
Do you have a vehicle in good condition that you'd consider donating to a worthy organization?  Did you know that we'd love to give your car, truck or van the opportunity to provide others with a second chance? 

We're in need of mechanically sound vehicles to transport our job trainees to and from jobsites.  Because we would use it for business purposes, you would be able to deduct the full Blue Book value

 

Our dream list includes:

  1. Toyota Prius Hybrids (or other high MPG cars);
  2. Later model pickup trucks; and 
  3. Utility or passenger vans.
Other solid vehicles that we can use for business operations may qualify.  For details, please email Cari or call her at 410-385-1101 x 110.
