		Arc’s Value Village Thrift Stores need your stuff! Clothing specifically - everything in general. Keep a box in a convenient place - a closet or right inside the garage will do. Every time you organize a drawer, a shelf, a cupboard or closet, set aside items you no longer need for Arc. Donation Drive-Up Drop-offs are open in Richfield, New Hope, and Brooklyn Center 7 days a week.

		Enjoy talking on the phone? Every day, Arc’s Used Goods Pickup Service makes hundreds of reminder phone calls to donors who are scheduled on the following day’s pickup route. Help Arc Greater Twin Cities by volunteering to make phone calls to donors reminding them that Arc’s Blue Truck will be in their neighborhood and will stop by to pick up their donations! This is a great volunteer opportunity for someone who would prefer to sit down while they volunteer. Call Molly Lindblad, Volunteer Development Manager, at (952) 915-3652 for more information on this volunteer opportunity!
