Second Chance Community Day is an opportunity for individuals, families, and friends to come together and learn about the products and resources offered by local businesses and organizations, including information and access to health and wellness resources. In April, Community Day will be celebrating Second Chance Month, which serves as a dedicated time to raise awareness about the hurdles faced by millions of formerly incarcerated Americans and to foster opportunities for their successful reentry into society. This event will feature live music from DJ Noel, fresh produce for purchase, and exceptional local vendors from Southeastern San Diego. The event also promotes the Project New Village fresh produce truck that is featured at Second Chance each community day. Second Chance has created this opportunity for people to learn about the services and resources in our neighborhoods and to support local business. Since 1993, Second Chance has provided effective solutions for reducing recidivism, unemployment, and homelessness; empowering participants to make sustainable personal changes that positively impact society. This is done through education, encouragement, specialized training, and supportive services which address issues such as behavioral health, housing, transportation, and substance abuse.
