They focus on helping adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities and do a super job. As part of their fund-raising efforts, they run numerous ARC Resale locations where they resell donated goods and it's the Avon Park resale location that I'm reviewing today. My mother recently passed away and I had a need to donate a great deal of stuff she had accumulated over 94 years of life. I chose these folks Arriving- It's right on Main Street about a minute from US Route 27 and it's a snap to find. Parking is simple. Donating- Easy peasy! The customer service folks explained clearly what they could take and why they didn't except certain items. It was painless and quick. Shopping- Let's assume you've been to other places that sell donations. This place is clean and organized like the competitors. The staff is just fine. Pricing- Unfortunately I'm deducting One star as they seem to price higher than all the competitors. They make up for that a bit by having selected days with discounts like Seniors Day etc. However, the standard pricing, in my opinion, needs to be adjusted. Conclusion- Even with the pricing blip this is a fine organization doing good work and the store is worth a look, especially on discounted days!

It was large and organized and the prices were very, very reasonable. They have clothes but they also have bric a brac -- including a separate room for glassware; They have tools and related items in a separate area called the man cave; a separate section marked kids; a room with books and records... and artwork and more kitchen stuff and china, et al around the perimeter. Add in the shoes and some furniture plus the jewelry by the checkout counter.... And it's a full merchandise store. Their monies go to helping seniors and for elderly care (and their caregivers) in the area. So it's a good cause. As I said, prices are such that I can't imagine you won't find at least a little something to purchase here.

Goodwill was found in 1902 by Boston Minister, Reverend Edgar J. Helms. He took donations from…read morewealthy Bostonians and hired people who were poor and who could fix the items. The items were then given to the people who worked on them or were resold. Goodwill's philosophy is "a hand up, not a hand out". Today Goodwill has become a $5 billion nonprofit organization that provides job training, employment, and community programs for people who have disabilities that might prevent them from getting a job on their own. I was in the area so I decided to check out this Goodwill in Sebring. It was completely different than any other Goodwill I have been to. They still had the same racks of clothes I am used to but they also carried a wide range of brand new household decor items including art, rugs, and decorations. One large part of the store was roped off and it contained hundreds of brand new Halloween costumes in bags. It was a far cry from the one rack of used mismatched costume pieces I have seen Goodwill stores carry in the fall. This store also carries brand new mattresses. This Goodwill resembled more of a Big Lots than the Goodwills I am used to. The prices were on par with those of discount retailer Big Lots as well. They even sell snacks up front. I inquired about what they sell and was told it was new and thrift items. The new items had been donated to them. I don't know if this store is unique or the way Goodwill wants to move in the future. Everything was clean and displayed nicely. I really wanted to find out more about this store but unfortunately they were getting ready to close for the night. If I lived in Sebring I would be a regular customer at this store.

Things were easy to shop visually without having to dig through things. The building has one really large room with two corridors and there are smaller rooms on each end to explore. There were fans set up in many of the booths to help with airflow. Prices were great on some items and higher on other items but all in all I would say that this is a shoppable venue to visit. We had not been to this store before and it's not along a major thoroughfare so if you aren't actively searching for it, you would likely never know it's there. This place is truly a find! The owners/workers were nice and helpful. If you like well organized antique shops, this is a good place for you to visit.

With nothing to do, our group stopped here to check out the thrift shoppe that was under construction when we arrived. Although most of the produce was less loved we were able to enjoy the variety of plants on the outside of the shop and engage in some meaningful conversation with the owners son. Great conversation but not exactly what we were expecting in regards to selection from a produce and thrift shoppe.
