The Team<br />
Jen has connected with former shop owner Ampi, an expert<br />
merchandiser who keeps the shop fresh and the displays seasonally<br />
appropriate and tasteful. She now works closely with<br />
Jen helping to ensure a great product mix and a gorgeous store.<br />
For many years, also, Jen has been blessed with a group of<br />
women surrounding her with encouraging words, great ideas<br />
and brilliant concepts. And she is grateful for all the influence,<br />
help and life experiences these women have shared with her.<br />
Cash for Stuff<br />
Second Time Around usually pays cash for merchandise on<br />
the spot. If your closets are too full, or just need refreshing, you<br />
can “convert” your beautiful but seldom worn clothing, handbags<br />
and accessories into spending money. Also, Jen will trade<br />
handbags, jewelry, shoes, sunglasses and clothing customers<br />
are seeking to “recycle”. More likely, she will purchase them<br />
outright, providing helpful cash to customers, and a boost to the<br />
“recycling” nature of her business. As an added service, home<br />
consultations are available during hectic times when visiting<br />
the store is not practical.<br />
Donations<br />

Eventually, items that don’t sell in the store are donated to<br />
a variety of local non-profits, such as Wayside House, Caring<br />
Kitchen and local churches that include Cason Methodist , St.<br />
Vincent’s, St. Paul’s, and St. Joseph’s. As well, Jen has begun<br />
partnering with Guylaine Richard, who heads up La Joie de Vivre<br />
Research Community Development Center in Haiti. Guylaine’s<br />
mission is to develop a model of integrated services and community<br />
engagement to help populations that can be replicated<br />
in other localities across Haiti.<br />
Regular Events<br />
Second Time Around holds regular weekend events like “Parking<br />
Lot Sales” as a last chance to move the ever-changing merchandise<br />
flowing through the store. Customers flock to this once a<br />
month event. Plans are underway for a spring event that will include<br />
wine and cheese, with specials galore inside the store. Contact<br />
