Did you know that your shopping choices can make a significant difference in our community? By choosing to shop at Seconds on the Avenue, you're finding great deals while supporting the vital work the Council of Community Services does in Gillette.


Why Seconds on the Avenue Matters


Seconds on the Avenue isn’t just a thrift store; it’s a lifeline for our community. Approximately 20% of our operating budget comes directly from the sales at Seconds. This funding is crucial because it provides us with the flexibility to respond to our community’s ever-changing needs. Unlike grants, which make up over 50% of our budget and come with strict spending guidelines, the funds from Seconds allow us to allocate resources where they are most needed at any given time.


Your Impact When You Shop


Every time you shop at Seconds on the Avenue, you’re contributing to the mission of the Council of Community Services. Your purchases help us:

  • Provide emergency assistance to families in crisis

  • Support our local food pantry

  • Offer affordable housing solutions

  • Run educational programs and workshops


Join Us in Making a Difference


We invite you to visit Seconds on the Avenue and see the wonderful items we have in store. From clothing and household goods to unique treasures, you’re sure to find something you love while making a positive impact.


Thank you for supporting the Council of Community Services. Together, we can continue to make Gillette a better place for everyone.


Visit us at 203 S Gillette Ave, Gillette, WY 82716.
