Community Outreach
Wednesday, April 26
2:00 PM - 4:00 PM / Arc's Value Village
Ever wondered what Arc's Value Village does with all those donations that come in? You're invited to a special volunteer "Sort-a-thon" at the Bloomington Arc's Value Village where your burning donation questions will be answered! In celebration of Earth Day, volunteers will learn about the "life of a donation," back-room processes including a peek at the reuse & recycling program, and then get "hands-on" by helping to unpack & sort donations and stock the sales floor.
Arc's Value Village has an urgent need for clothing donations at this time. Volunteers are encouraged to bring a bag of clothing donations when they come.
