Mission:

The passion that guides arc Thrift Stores is based on the very real, everyday needs of people with intellectual/developmental disabilities. This population lives with a variety of disabilities including, but not limited to Down syndrome, cerebral palsy and autism. 

"arc Thrift Stores is a tax-exempt, non-profit organization dedicated to creating and funding programs that serve those individuals living with intellectual/developmental disabilities, with complex and evolving needs."

We are a non-profit organization operating 24 locations in Metro Denver, Fort Collins, Greeley, Loveland, Colorado Springs, and Pueblo. The proceeds generated through the sale of gently used clothing and household items at arc Thrift Stores are distributed to Arc Chapters and the Association for Community Living (ACL) throughout Colorado. The mission of the arc Thrift Stores is to enhance the lives of individuals with intellectual/developmental disabilities and their families by providing funding to support the Arc and ACL Chapters in Colorado and Advocacy Denver.

We believe that all people with intellectual/developmental disabilities should have the opportunity to decide how they live, learn, work, and play.
