Community Thrift Store – Empowering Lives Through Affordable options

Our nonprofit, Bridges BTC, Inc. d/b/a The Arc of Space Coast, is excited to launch a Community Thrift Store in Brevard County! This initiative will provide affordable clothing, household goods, and essentials to local families while creating meaningful employment opportunities for individuals with disabilities.
Every purchase supports our mission to empower people with developmental disabilities through job training, skill-building, and community inclusion. The thrift store will also serve as a sustainable funding source for our Residential Group Homes, Adult day training Programs and VA Grant and Per Diem Traditional Housing Program, which provides housing and support services to veterans experiencing homelessness.

Your donation will help us:

Cover initial setup costs (fixtures, signage, and accessibility features)
Fund job training programs for individuals with disabilities
Expand outreach to families and veterans in need

Together, we can create a space that fosters dignity, independence, and opportunity for all.

Impact:
Employment: Provide jobs and training for individuals with disabilities.
Affordability: Offer low-cost essentials to families in need.
Community Support: Sustain programs that assist disabled adults, veterans and vulnerable populations.
