Second Chance Week

October 18-24, 2009

Second Chance Week is a national public awareness campaign held each October to promote the reuse of old items through Reuse, Repair, Resale and Donation.  This year the City of Modesto will collect "gently used" blankets.  Donated items will be disbursed to local agencies to help prepare families and individuals in need for the cold winter months.

Please consider giving your "gently used" blankets a second chance by donating them during this special collection event.  Collection bins will be available at the following locations throughout Second Chance Week.
