Thrift store
The contemporary world of shopping is a significant part of making us who we are. Consumption transcends and transforms our very identities. At our Thrift Store 100% of the proceeds go toward our charitable programs and services. The Second Chance Foundation’s Thrift Store promotes economic independence of marginalized, racialized and disadvantaged women within and outside of the justice system. Serving the Scarborough, Toronto and GTA, our sustainable and close-the-loop thrift store has clothing, accessories, fine China, books and more. We are thrilled to share this space with you.
Message from Beverly Dwyer, founder of The Second Chance Foundation in regard to the closure of TSCF Thrift Store as of June 2026, “It is with great sadness that we announce the closing of our Thrift Store. Since April 2017, we have provided clothes and household items for free to those in need — including those in transitional homes, leaving the justice system, and new immigrants — for the past 9 years. Due to the extremely high cost of rent and overhead, our doors at our physical location will close by June 2026. We thank our volunteers and loyal customers for nearly a decade of support.”

At The Second Chance Foundation we believe in reintegration, support, empowerment and education. Upon release from jail or prison, reintegration could be an uneasy next step. The Second Chance Foundation is here to help. Within 30 days application with proof of institutional release is supported by a voucher to The Second Chance Foundation’s clothing store. Helping to make a new start, vouchers would vary according to need and family size.
Further clothing, as well as household items could be available to individuals in the surrounding community who are in need due to lack of financial resources. Speak to our administration.
