Circle of Love (COL) is pleased to announce the successful Grand Opening Celebration and Ribbon Cutting of Second Chance Boutique, which was held on December 3, 2025, at its new location at 939 Greensboro Road in Eatonton. 

Community members, donors, partners, volunteers, and local supporters gathered for an afternoon of celebration and purpose. Since opening its doors on November 19, the boutique has already received overwhelming support from the community, and the grand opening further demonstrated the excitement surrounding this new mission-driven retail space. 

Guests enjoyed a festive hot cocoa bar while browsing the boutique’s curated selection of gently loved women’s clothing, accessories, and home goods, along with a variety of new items available for purchase. With its emphasis on quality, style, and community connection, shoppers are welcomed into a warm, boutique-style experience that reflects the dignity and hope Circle of Love strives to restore in the lives of those it serves. 

The official ribbon-cutting ceremony marked a significant milestone for Circle of Love. “The turnout at our grand opening meant so much to the families we serve and to us,” said Executive Director Kimberly Bennett. “Second Chance Boutique offers our supporters another meaningful way to make a difference in the lives of the families we serve through shopping, donating, and sharing hope. It will also serve as a community touchpoint where we can share information about our services and upcoming events.” 

Second Chance Boutique is open Wednesday through Friday from 10:00 AM to 6:00 PM and Saturday from 10:00 AM to 4:00 PM. Donations of clothing and home accessories are accepted during business hours, and Circle of Love’s Wish List items (found at COLinc.org) may also be dropped off at the boutique. 

Circle of Love’s Second Chance Boutique is helping fund essential services for survivors of domestic violence and their children across Greene, Morgan, Hancock, Putnam, and Baldwin Counties. Every purchase made at the boutique directly contributes to providing stability and a fresh start for families in need.
