Mission

 
We rescue and recycle gently used plastic toys for children in need.

What We Do

 
Second Chance Toys (SCT) rescues and redistributes gently used plastic toys to children in need through local community organizations while at the same time, helping our environment.

We conduct major toy collections through community-wide efforts during Earth Week (Apr) and Year-End Holidays (Nov/Dec).

With growing awareness and interest in our work, we have secured corporate grants enabling us to create an updated identity including a new interactive website to serve as a 'clearinghouse' connecting toy donors with collectors and collectors with recipient organizations.

SCT collaborated with Chris Canty (NY GIANTS) and his Foundation which created lots of buzz for us.

We also completed a major Earth Week event with Kohl's which culminated at the Comcast Center in Philadelphia with over 300 Kohl's Associates in Action collecting over 8,000 toys for area organizations.

By providing the necessary resources, education and facilitating connections, SCT empowers families, schools, local businesses, religious/community organizations, mommy groups, and Girl Scouts among many others, to create their own local programs to drive our outcomes.

Please join us in our movement!
