Members of The Arc support our work to enhance the lives of people with intellectual and developmental disabilities.  We can thank you by offering a consignment program that fits your needs.  If you are moving, downsizing or just ready to sell significant quantities of household goods, you may donate them to The Arc, or you can consign them as an Estate Consignor. The Arc will sell you quality estate items for you.  Read about this worry-free experience. On this page, above, click on thrift stores: then click on estate consignment.

Are you one of the 25,000+ residents of Benton County that now qualify for discounts on regularly priced items sold in The Arc Thrift Stores?  If you are a member of The Arc, a student or staff with an OSU ID, or a volunteer to The Arc Thrift Stores, or, on Tuesdays, a person over 55 years old,  you qualify for 10%-20% discount in the stores at 10th and Beca in Corvallis and 10th and Main in Philomath.  Not one of those populations? If you sign up for our e-mail list, you get coupon information sent to you along with occasional news of The Arc. Membership, for a small fee ensures you have everyday discounts and the special coupons.  Membership also supports The Arc's services to people with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities.  Regularly-scheduled Volunteers who have given 20 hours of service qualify for 20% off, as long as they keep helping. Every purchase, discounted or not, enhances lives.  Save with The Arc!

The Arc has many opportunities for students to apply their business learning and to experience local Social Services through a not-for-profit organization.  Supported recreation for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities can be imagined and hosted.  Life Skills Classes, the Arts, sharing your hobbies or sports can enrich lives of The Arc's constituents.  Want to learn to fund raise?  Help The Arc host a fundraising event or other community event that build awareness of The Arc and the people we serve. Our two thrift stores, one in Corvallis and one in Philomath always need help.  We also have an online store that needs items posted to it.  We welcome ideas to generate increased traffic in our stores. Resale marketing, internet sales, event logistics, and just having fun with people who need a little support are all available here. Call Karin, 541-753-1711 or email kf@arcbenton.org to express your interest.
