Spring Fling selection includes Easter baskets, bunnies, eggs, plush toys and more. Spring apparel is now available in all departments - women’s, men’s and children’s - the selection is great and the colors inspiring. Come in and put together a complete gift basket for a loved one by collecting their favorites - books, jewelry, craft items, a great frame with a cherished photo in it, CDs and DVDs. You’ve made it memorable as well as eco and budget friendly! All you might want to add to it is a few favorite sweets. We’re celebrating 25 years in the community at Arc’s Value Village Richfield. Watch this space where we will announce some wonderful events for a spring or early summer celebration! Arc’s Value Village Richfield opened in 1982. It was the year of the movie Chariots of Fire, the song Bette Davis Eyes and the opening of Walt Disney World’s Epcot Center. That will take you back! With fondness, we congratulate the staff and volunteers at Arc’s Value Village Richfield. In fact, volunteer Betty Schech, has been volunteering the entire 25 years. Thank you for your support. Enjoy a discount on your purchase between March 19-31. Print coupon online! New! Weekend Hours Have Been Extended! Saturday and Sunday all three locations are open from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. for your convenience to shop, donate and volunteer! Drive up and drop off your donations anytime during store hours.

		Organize a donation drive at your place of business or church. We can help by providing you with bins, posters, brochures, email reminders etc. to help make it fun and informative for everyone. Single category collections are often the most successful - clothing, kitchen stuff, music and books, toys, etc. Let us know your interests and we’ll provide everything you need. Call for more information: Matt Bee, Donation Manager at 952-915-3635.

		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!
