Second Chances Recovery & Resale Store

What Second Chances Recovery & Resale Store does

Second Chances Recovery & Resale Store, Inc. (SCRRS) is a Poteau, Oklahoma-based non-profit founded in 2015 by Executive Director Terri Sanchez. The organization runs a hybrid operating model in which a donated-goods resale store and an on-site Coffee & Pastry Bar at 1100 S. Broadway generate earned revenue that funds free substance-abuse recovery and community-support programs across LeFlore County. Free service offerings include parenting classes, anger management, depression counseling, 12-step recovery meetings, life coaching, spiritual guidance, job training, resume assistance, and a Holiday Gift Basket program partnered with the Ministerial Alliance of Poteau. Recovery meetings are held Tuesdays at 2pm at the store and 6pm at Cross Community Church.

In January 2026 the organization expanded its service surface by opening the Second Chances Recovery Women's Center at 1309 S Broadway, a residential sober-living facility housing up to 10 women at a time on a structured 6-month inpatient plus 6-month outpatient program covering counseling, soft-skills and job-skills training, financial literacy, parenting, and healthy-relationships curricula. The organization is sustained by a sponsorship network of more than 30 local churches, civic groups, and businesses including the Choctaw Nation Oklahoma, and by recurring fundraising events such as the annual Be the Change Banquet ($35-$40 per ticket) and cornhole tournaments ($50 per team).

The technology footprint is minimal: a WordPress-style website built by Webzique, a Facebook page, PayPal/Venmo/ACH donation integrations, and standard retail/POS operations for the thrift store and coffee bar. There is no proprietary technology platform, no mobile app, no disclosed data assets, and no AI/ML systems in evidence. The organization self-describes its purpose as serving LeFlore County, which ranks 17th of 77 Oklahoma counties for overdose death rates — establishing both the social need and the rationale for the integrated retail-plus-recovery model.

Scale indicators6 records

Recent moves8 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Savers / Value Village: For-profit thrift retail chain purchasing donated goods from nonprofit partners; comparable on the secondhand retail operations and assortment (apparel, furniture, housewares) but operates at much larger scale across U.S. and Canada.
• The Salvation Army: Faith-based nonprofit combining thrift retail stores with adult rehabilitation centers, substance abuse recovery programs, and community services — the closest analog to SCRRS's hybrid resale + recovery model.
• Goodwill Industries International: Large nonprofit operating a national network of thrift/retail stores whose proceeds fund job training, employment programs, and community services — directly parallel to SCRRS's resale-funders-mission model, but at vastly larger scale.
• Volunteers of America: National nonprofit operating thrift stores alongside recovery, housing, and behavioral health programs — comparable breadth of service lines (retail + human services), though with national footprint and scale.

Emerging players

• Crossroads Trading: For-profit secondhand apparel, footwear, and accessories resale retailer — comparable on the apparel resale mechanics that SCRRS leverages for funding, though for-profit rather than nonprofit.

Direct peers

• Faith Farm Ministries: Faith-based, faith-Work-based nonprofit recovery program offering long-term residential substance abuse treatment at no cost — highly comparable to the women's recovery center on the program design and recovery mission.
• Hope Thrift / Local Faith-Based Recovery Thrift Stores: A category of small, faith-rooted thrift stores that fund local recovery and family services — closely mirrors the SCRRS model of small-footprint retail subsidizing a recovery mission in a single community.
• Habitat for Humanity ReStores: Nonprofit home-furnishings and furniture resale stores whose proceeds fund Habitat's housing mission — closely comparable on the retail/thrift-funding-mission side, also accepting donated goods.
