Second Harvest seeks to meet the material and relational needs of its surrounding community by providing quality goods at affordable prices in a bright, modern, and welcoming space. We engage a diverse family of volunteers and employees to glean gently used clothing, housewares, and furniture, sell them affordably where they are needed most, and invest the proceeds into living wage jobs and ultimately grants to strengthen and accelerate neighborhood organizations and initiatives.
This #NationalGoodNeighborDay we’re so happy to announce a grant to one of our favorite neighbors, the #SharpsburgCommunityGarden 🌱 Together with additional funding from @sno15215 , Second Harvest's grant will fund a solar panel and outlet at the garden, where volunteers currently make do without electricity. 🔌 The outlet will not only allow volunteers to charge garden equipment on-site, but also run a small cooler to store excess produce. 🥬 The next stop for that produce? The #FreeFridge at Second Harvest! We are proud to partner with Sharpsburg Community Garden to distribute the produce they grow, and proud to help fuel local food-sharing efforts like this one. #goodneighborday
Remember seeing these beauties on our IG story a few weeks ago⁉️These gorgeous, hand-carved @Anthropologie chairs were donated to Second Harvest last month by a generous neighbor. We shared them on our story and within a few hours, a different neighbor was at Second Harvest to purchase them. Incredibly, her niece had added the exact chairs to her wedding registry -- but they were backordered at Anthropologie!
.
With her purchase, this customer was able to give her niece the wedding gift of her dreams, while also spending thrift store dollars that will be reinvested back into our community. The revenue generated by the sale of these chairs, at $350 each, will:
🌾Provide over 40 hours of living-wage work for a local resident that lets them to meet their household needs and reduces their families’ economic vulnerability;
🤝Provide gift cards for up to seven neighbors challenged by accidents, illness, loss of income, or other hardships to find their footing in hard times; or
🍴Sustain our Community Free Fridge for 2+ months, including utilities, food and supplies, and volunteer hours dedicated to maintaining a clean, welcoming free fridge location.
.
Looking for a one-of-a-kind gift for someone in your life? You can give the #GiftofThrift too! Stop by to pick up a Second Harvest gift card in-store, or give us a call to purchase a digital gift card over the phone – all we need is a cell phone number!

Meet Kelly, Second Harvest's new Research & Online Sales Specialist! 👋
.
DID YOU KNOW⁉️ Our goal at Second Harvest is to extract the most value out of your donation. Sometimes, the best place for your well-loved Levi's is on our sales floor, to be resold to a neighbor who loves them.👖 But the best place to sell your designer jeans may be online, where we can harvest the most cash value and reinvest those dollars back into our store and community. 🌾
.
THAT’S WHERE KELLY COMES IN! She’s responsible for researching high-end or designer items -- including jewelry💎 art 🖼 handbags 👜 furniture 🪑 and clothing 👗 -- and determining the best place to sell those items to maximize the impact of your donation.
.
Prior to joining Second Harvest, Kelly was the Operations Manager for a small, veteran-owned government contracting company. But her side hustle was thrifting and re-selling vintage goods. "Now, I can't believe that I get to show up to work each day to do the thing I love most with an exceptional and dedicated team," says Kelly.
.
Welcome, Kelly! We’re so glad you’re here!!
