The community just, it was like they were waiting to help us in some way, and they really stepped up. It was wonderful.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The store has remained full ever since, and now they&#8217;re ready to celebrate with an event this Saturday, August 1, from 10 am to 3 pm. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There will be hot dogs, refreshments, yard sale tables, in-store specials, door prizes, contests and more, said Taylor, the president of the Sackville and District Assistance Centre, which operates both the thrift store and the Sackville Food Bank. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;One of our loyal customers has a food truck. They&#8217;re going to come down and sell some food from the food truck and donate some of the proceeds to the store and the food bank.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-small-font-size wp-block-paragraph\">Listen to the audio below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-audio\"><audio controls src=\"https:\/\/www.chmafm.com\/welcome\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/JULY-28-Second-Chances-anniversary-no-brief.mp3\"><\/audio><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Like food banks across the country, Taylor said usage has almost doubled since the pandemic, and as the size of the population served grew, so did the operation&#8217;s need for more funding.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200a&#8221;We&#8217;ve had a social enterprise on our strategic plan for the past several years,&#8221; said Taylor. &#8220;We went to visit a lot of other thrift stores and get some ideas from them, and then we thought, &#8216;well, maybe we&#8217;ll put a plan together and give it a try.'&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They secured the location at 18 Lorne Street and after two weeks of preparing, they opened the doors for the first time on August 1, 2025.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To start, they accepted donations on Mondays and were open Wednesday to Saturday, 10 am to 3 pm. Since then, thanks to an increase in volunteers and paid staff, the hours have increased. First, they started staying open until 7 pm on Thursdays, and starting this week, they&#8217;re opening on Mondays as well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Abby Spencer, a summer student who was recently hired to stay on in the fall at Second Chances, said the community that&#8217;s come up around the store has been wonderful to see.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200a&#8221;I&#8217;ve never had a bad customer interaction, which is miraculous in a retail job. Everyone really believes in the thrift store and the food bank&#8217;s mission, which is really awesome.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But even before she worked there, she knew how impactful the store could be.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">&#8220;\u200aIt&#8217;s kind of funny. I&#8217;m pretty sure the clothes I wore to my job interview, I had bought here.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While Taylor is already looking ahead at what might come next\u2014opening for another evening?\u2014she is more than happy with what the store has accomplished so far, she said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u200a&#8221;We started it last year as an experiment to try to raise money for the food bank, and it&#8217;s been a wonderful experiment. We&#8217;ve had tremendous support from the community, both in donations and in buying stuff, and we&#8217;re ready to celebrate our first year.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>It was July 2025, and Kelli Taylor had her doubts they&#8217;d ever be able to fill the building that would become Second Chances Thrift Store. \u200a&#8221;By the time we opened [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":58,"featured_media":83371,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_tec_requires_first_save":true,"_EventAllDay":false,"_EventTimezone":"","_EventStartDate":"","_EventEndDate":"","_EventStartDateUTC":"","_EventEndDateUTC":"","_EventShowMap":false,"_EventShowMapLink":false,"_EventURL":"","_EventCost":"","_EventCostDescription":"","_EventCurrencySymbol":"","_EventCurrencyCode":"","_EventCurrencyPosition":"","_EventDateTimeSeparator":"","_EventTimeRangeSeparator":"","_EventOrganizerID":[],"_EventVenueID":[],"_OrganizerEmail":"","_OrganizerPhone":"","_OrganizerWebsite":"","_VenueAddress":"","_VenueCity":"","_VenueCountry":"","_VenueProvince":"","_VenueState":"","_VenueZip":"","_VenuePhone":"","_VenueURL":"","_VenueStateProvince":"","_VenueLat":"","_VenueLng":"","_VenueShowMap":false,"_VenueShowMapLink":false,"_tribe_blocks_recurrence_rules":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_description":"","_tribe_blocks_recurrence_exclusions":"","footnotes":""},"categories":[472,482,558],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-83352","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","category-front-page","category-weekly"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.1 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>&#039;A wonderful experiment&#039;\u2014Second Chances Thrift Store celebrates one year &#187;
