The best way to support ARC is to shop their terrific thrift stores, located all over the Denver area. The money is used IN THE surrounding community, not sent back to a remote headquarters. There are a lot of great buys at these thrift stores. (Honestly, why buy new when there is so much perfectly good product waiting to be discovered at these thrift stores?) The stores are fairly large and, for a thrift store anywhere, easy to shop in with wide aisles and lots of variety. Each store is different, so we never know what we'll find there. If you shop carefully, there are good deals to be found. When we moved, we donated our best stuff to our local ARC because we know the revenue they receive from the sale of our donations will stay in the community.
