After Halloween, consider donating your costume instead of storing it or discarding it. Arc Thrift Store saves donated Halloween merchandise for the following year so that other families have an affordable option. If the kids are grown and you have a bin full of costumes you don’t need, bring them to 2830 North Avenue in Grand Junction.

Arc Thrift Store accepts donations Monday through Saturday from 9 a.m. to 8 p.m., and Sunday from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Remember, your purchase at Arc Thrift Stores supports the Arc Mesa County disability advocacy work.
