From Second Chance Emporium
Second Chance supports the non-profit organizations in our county by means of a a thrift store which is operated by a coalition of local churches. None of the profits go to the churches. The profits are given out as grants to local non-profits such as food pantries, health and human service organizations, etc. With the community's support of Second Chance, we have been able to give out over $4 million in grants since our inception. And the good quality, low cost items that we sell are an additional boon to our community's underprivileged population. We accept donations Monday through Saturday from 8 AM to 2:30 PM. Our store is open for sales on Fridays and Saturdays from 9 AM to 3 PM.
Second Chance Emporium is a thrift store run by a coalition of local churches, with all profits going to grants for non-profit organizations such as food pantries and health and human service organizations. The store has donated over $4 million in grants since its inception, and accepts donations from Monday to Saturday, 8 AM to 2:30 PM. Shoppers can purchase goods at reasonable prices on Fridays and Saturdays, from 9 AM to 3 PM. Reviews mention the wide selection of used merchandise and the helpfulness of the staff, who assist with loading big items into customers' vehicles. It is noted that regulars may line up early on Fridays to secure a place in line, as the store can become crowded with dealers. While some have mentioned a possible increase in prices, it is also highlighted that Second Chance Emporium has recently donated a significant amount of money to the Flatonia Area Food Pantry and other local food pantries. The store operates on a cash-only basis.
