Inundated Second Chance Pausing Donations

It must be spring cleaning time, because Second Chance Emporium in La Grange has been swamped with donations. A steady line of vehicles were rolling in on Wednesday to drop off items. Pictured above are Second Hand staff accepting items from one of those donors. In order for the staff at the charity resale shop to catch up on processing donations, Second Chance will not be accepting donations April 7-21. The donations drop-off area will reopen on Tuesday, April 22. It’s a good problem to have,” said Store Director Gayle Scheilack. “We just need some time to process everything.” Staff photo by Andy Behlen
