From Humble Start to Community Staple
Second Time Around began in 1992 near the Valdez boat harbor. What started as a small thrift initiative became a major turning point for Connecting Ties, Inc.—providing meaningful work and social opportunities for individuals experiencing disabilities. It was the beginning of a broader mission of inclusion and empowerment.
Thrift That Gives Back
Today, Second Time Around is a trusted community resource. Residents donate generously, and shoppers benefit from fair prices on everyday items.
