Lunch Break With The Village

Supporting Pinwheels for Prevention at the Second Chance Shops

April 9, 2024

On this episode of Lunch Break With The Village we learned about our volunteer-run Second Chance Shops in Glastonbury, Simsbury, Suffield and West Hartford and how they’re helping support child abuse prevention efforts at The Village this April.

You’ll learn:

  • How these thrift boutiques support families served by The Village by selling new and gently used clothing, accessories and housewares
  • How you can support the Shops’ “Pinwheels for Prevention” campaign this April
  • How you can volunteer for a few hours each month and make an impact

Our guests were be Jill Scully, West Hartford Second Chance Shop Chair and Jennifer Herbek, Simsbury Second Chance Shop Co-Chair.

Pinwheels for Prevention is a national effort to shed light on the importance of protecting children and reflect the bright future every child deserves.
