Second Chance Toys is a nonprofit organization founded in 2006 that focuses on diverting plastic toys from landfills by collecting and redistributing them to children in need. The organization rescues unwanted, largely “good-as-new” toys and donates them to large entities that care for youth, contributing to child development by supporting social interaction, creativity, emotional security, motor skills, and learning. Based in Springfield, New Jersey, the group positions itself within the nonprofit sector as a waste-need solution aimed at reducing plastic waste while addressing gaps in access to toys for families and children. The nonprofit operates with a focus on local and national partnerships, as evidenced by recent collaborations with educational districts and corporate supporters that expand its toy recirculation network. While its workforce consists of a small team, Second Chance Toys sustains ongoing initiatives through these partnerships and community-driven programs. The organization maintains a presence online at its website, which highlights program activity and recent developments in its mission to reuse plastic toys for underserved children.
