About the Organization & Community Impact

Second Chance Thrift Shop supports the Friends of Matheny, the volunteer fundraising organization associated with Matheny. Matheny serves children and adults with special needs and developmental disabilities, and Friends of Matheny raises funds for programs, services, equipment and experiences that enhance quality of life. Thrift-shop proceeds have helped support needs such as accessible transportation, therapeutic and adaptive equipment, technology and special activities. Donated household goods therefore become a tangible funding resource for people with disabilities rather than merely resale inventory. For estate donors, the shop combines responsible reuse with a clearly defined mission: quality items are kept in circulation, shoppers gain access to affordable merchandise, and the resulting value helps expand opportunities and supports for the people Matheny serves.
