Story

We are Arkansas largest blind consumer organization with our only Thrift Store located right here in Springdale, Arkansas! For this reason, our store is relied upon greatly to support the Arkansas Council of the Blind. We sell a variety of donated items in our store as a fund-generator for our organization. We are NO LONGER on Emma Street; we have MOVED to 419 East Robinson (Hwy 412) (directly across from FedEx). We have a beautiful, 8,000 square foot store that is well kept and decorated with wonderful items that have been donated by our great community!
