community partners
At Second Tern Thrift Store, we believe in giving items—and ideas—a second life. Through the resale of clothing, furniture, toys, and more, we've avoided over 2500 cubic yards of waste from entering our landfill per year. Every donation and purchase help us protect the planet while supporting local nature education. After all, one person’s trash is another’s treasure!
recycle: reduce, reuse, reimagine
Second Tern thrives thanks to our incredible team of volunteers. From sorting donations to assisting customers, each volunteer plays a key role in turning everyday shopping into environmental action. Want to be part of something bigger? We’d love to have you.
