About
Second Chance is a resale store in La Grange that serves all of Fayette County. We provide financial support for human services organizations in Fayette County.
The resale store is run by a coalition of seven local churches (Crosspoint Community Church, St. James Episcopal, St. Paul Lutheran, Sacred Heart Catholic, Mt. Calvary Lutheran, New Life Methodist, and First Presbyterian, all in La Grange) and Shared Lutheran Ministry (St. John Lutheran, Ellinger, St. Paul Lutheran, Fayetteville, St. John, Rutersville, and St. John, Warrenton). These churches receive no monies from Second Chance.
The shop accepts donations from the public and resells items that are in good, working, usable condition. These items are sold at very low prices in order to benefit the underprivileged members of our community. All profits from the sale of these items are then given to local charities which are selected by the Funds Committee of the Board of Directors.
Many low-income families live in Fayette County. Because Second Chance makes a point of keeping the prices low, these families are able to purchase clothing and shoes for themselves and their children, as well as necessary household items and even small gifts.
