About Us

Since 2012, Second Chance Thrift Store has provided training and mentoring for residents of the Bridge Restoration Ministry as well as financial support for the Bridge by collecting donated goods for resale.

We aim to be more than an outlet for creativity, fashion and design - our goal is to be a light to the community.  

Second Chance provides vocational training, mentoring, and financial support for the residents of The Bridge who have substance abuse and/or living skills problems. 

Your patronage at either of our stores directly helps impact and restore lives.

Sometimes people need a second chance at life. Every time you shop with us, you are directly helping the residents of The Bridge Restoration Ministry with a second chance at their life.

Similarly, we take donated merchandise and restore it to usefulness in the hands of its new owner.

Return and Refund Policy

Return & Refund Policy
We have a 10-day return policy, which means you have 10 days after receiving your item to request a return.

To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.

To start a return, you can contact us at secondchancebridgestore@gmail.com.

If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

You can always contact us for any return question at secondchancebridgestore@gmail.com.

Damages and Issues
Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.

Exceptions / non-returnable items:
Certain types of items cannot be returned, like perishable goods (such as flowers, or plants), and personal care goods (such as beauty products). Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item.

Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.

Refunds
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too.
