The Arc of Jackson County: “Green” since 1971

The Arc’s Treasurers II Thrift Store has been recycling used goods since 1971! For over 37 years, your gently used donations of clothing, furniture, and household goods have helped people with developmental disabilities as well as the environment.

We are always in need of used good donations. And for additional piece of mind you should know — what we are unable to sell we give to the Medford Gospel Mission and Medford Community Services —keeping the recycling wheel going while helping others in need. If you have a donation you may drop it off at Treasures II or call 779-4520 for more details. Thanks so much!!!
