Donate Items - It's pretty easy to accumulate extra things around the house, and it is your extras that can be quite useful to those who are starting with very little. There are specific items we provide to our clients. (See the complete list here.) We are also glad to accept other household items. Some of these extra items are passed along during our regular delivery process Most are sold in our annual yard sale, or in our flea market booth. The sale of these items helps us cover delivery and operating expenses.

Volunteers are the heart of our organization. We continue to need volunteers to:

• Pick up donations

• Sort and inventory items

• Make deliveries

• Provide office support

Contribute Funds - Money is needed to meet general operating expenses as well as to purchase items that are not donated in sufficient quantities.

Tell others about Second Starts Since our inception we have been slowly growing in our capacity to manage inventory and our capacity to serve those in need. Most of this progress has come through people talking about Second Starts. The more people who are aware of the service we provide, the more people we will be able to serve.

We're in particular need of the following items:

• Lamps

• Coffee Makers

• Irons
