SHOP. DONATE. SUPPORT.

The Arc Makes Cents Thrift Shop, located on Ventnor Avenue in the heart of Ventnor, is supported by donations of clothing and goods from the community. All proceeds from the sale of donated items support programs and services that enhance the lives of local individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities and their families in Atlantic County and parts of Southern New Jersey. Thanks for your support!

These services include case management, recreation, sports training, family services and vocational placement services.

When you shop or donate items, you support The Arc of Atlantic County’s mission of building an inclusive community where everyone has the opportunity to decide how they live, learn, work, and play. The Arc Makes Cents Thrift Shop offers a great selection of gently used and new clothing, accessories, jewelry, household items, toys, books, collectibles and more. New inventory arrives regularly, so be sure to shop often!
