The Arc Thrift Connection

The Arc and arc Thrift Stores are separate nonprofit organizations with a long history of working to support people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (I/DD) in Colorado.
 

The connection began in the 1960s when local chapters of The Arc in the Denver area were looking for a more sustainable way to support their programs. In 1968, the first arc Thrift Store, originally called Value Village, opened in Denver. Since then, arc Thrift has provided millions of dollars in funding to chapters of The Arc in Colorado, helping support advocacy and services for people with I/DD and their families.
