Thrifting Saves More Than Just Money
Reduce Environmental Waste
Fight fashion waste by purchasing secondhand and donating used clothing. This extends the life of these items and reduces the amount of perfectly good garments that end up in landfills.
Support Your Community
Every purchase made at an Arc of Acadiana resale store goes towards supporting Acadiana’s intellectually and developmentally disabled community.
Provide Life Skills for Disabled Individuals
Our thrift stores are staffed and run by disabled community members. Your support allows us to offer socialization and job training to people who may struggle to integrate within the community.
