Our Mission
The 2nd Chance Job & Resource Fair was created to connect individuals and families with employment opportunities, support services, legal resources, training programs, and hope for a brighter future. Hosted annually by Community Missionary Baptist Church in Cedar Hill, Texas.
"It's very important that people are given another opportunity. Sometimes that's all someone needs — another chance. 2nd Chance provides an opportunity to help someone get up, get established on their feet, and be able to move forward and be productive again in society."
— Pastor Oscar D. Epps, Sr. · Community Missionary Baptist ChurchMark Your Calendar
