Kurt Colehower interviews Lloyd Lewis, the President and CEO of Arc Thrift Stores, about the organization’s significant impact as one of Colorado’s largest nonprofits since its founding in 1968. With a mission centered on advocacy and employment for individuals with developmental disabilities—such as Down syndrome and autism—Arc Thrift currently employs 600 people with these disabilities and supports 15 advocacy chapters across the state. Lewis, who joined in 2005 after a career at IBM and was inspired by his son Kennedy, highlights that the organization is sustained by 6 million annual store transactions and over 100 million pounds of donations. Community members can support their mission through shopping, volunteering, or making financial contributions at arcthrift.com.
