10am-12pm @ Richfield Arc's Value Village thrift store volunteering

Arc’s Value Village thrift stores generate funding for The Arc Minnesota's mission. The Arc Minnesota works to promote and protect the human rights of people who have intellectual and developmental disabilities.  We help people navigate systems while working to advance social change centered in justice, equity and belonging in community.

Volunteers at Arc's Value Village unpack, sort and tag donations such as clothing, books, toys, etc.   We have Arc's Value Village locations in Richfield, New Hope and Bloomington.  Volunteers can participate individually or with a team.  We have flexible scheduling seven days a week.

Individual volunteer shifts are 2 hours with times of 10am - 12pm, 1pm - 3pm and 4pm - 6pm. 

Groups can schedule shifts of 2-3 hours in length between the hours of 10am - 5pm.  We ask for a 2-4 week lead time with scheduling of groups if possible.  Learn more here.

• Unpacking and sorting clothing and related donations
