When you choose to shop Arc thrift stores you have the satisfaction of knowing that your purchases help fund advocacy and services for individuals and their families with developmental disabilities. Funds raised by your purchases stay in the state of Colorado. This is why we say you are “shopping with a purpose….everyday” when you shop our stores.

Through your generous donations and purchases we are able to continue expansion of stores, employee more people, and offer a great selection of merchandise. Your donations enable us to raise more and more funds to support our Arc and ACL chapters. As a customer and/or donor you are very important to us.

We are a non-profit organization that operates thrift stores in Metro Denver, Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Colorado Springs and Pueblo. Our proceeds go directly to Arc Chapters and to the Association for Community Living (ACL) throughout Colorado.  Our mission is to enhance the lives of individuals with developmental disabilities by providing funding to support the ARC and ACL advocacy programs in Colorado.

We believe with appropriate learning and living environments, people with intellectual and developmental disabilities can achieve levels of self-sufficiency and can lead fulfilling and productive lives in their own communities, which benefits us all.
