Description
The Arc of Cass County operates two thrift stores to provide funding for our programs to help people with developmental disabilities. The Arc Thrift Store at 255 N University Drive has been in operation for many years. In June of 2006 we opened our second store, The Arc Attic Treasures, at 3201 S 43rd St in Fargo. The stores are proud to say that they have been able to provide approximately 85% of the funding for The Arc programs, this amounts to 50% of every dollar taken in at the stores. We hope to continue to do this even as costs go up on expenses by depending heavily on the volunteers we are able to recruit to assist us. We are thrift stores with a mission.
