As part of our 2S Task Force, you’ll receive emails when Second Story has an urgent need or program request that requires the community’s help. These kinds of needs include in-kind donations, volunteer assistance, monetary support, or help spreading the work about an issue or event. While you can always check this page to view our current program needs, we will only email you when new pressing needs or critical updates arise. You can opt out at anytime.
