The Arc says thrift-store proceeds fund programs; two locations serve Spokane area
Summary
Jared Bradshaw said The Arc operates two thrift stores—one on Newport Highway near the Costco and one on Oregon in the valley—and that proceeds are used to cover staffing, overhead and program needs not funded by the county.
Jared Bradshaw told Council Connection that The Arc of Spokane runs two thrift-store locations whose proceeds support the nonprofit’s programs and operations. He said donations and purchases at the stores are "vitally important" to covering staffing and overhead costs the county does not pay for.
Bradshaw gave location details, saying one store is on Newport Highway near the Costco and the other is on Oregon in the valley. He encouraged residents to donate clothing and household items or to volunteer; Fletcher added that the Arc website includes a donate tab and a volunteer application where donors can direct gifts to specific programs.
