Announcements
Thrift Store Closing

The Arc of Lincoln Thrift Store has closed its doors.   We would like to thank all the people who made the store possible: staff, volunteers, customers, and those who donated items.  We appreciated your business! A BIG Thank You to Claire, Barb, Renae, Mike and all of the volunteers!  Please direct all Thrift Store questions to the Arc office - 402.421.8866

 
Honey

***NEW*** We are now selling 6oz. bags of Honey Roasted Almonds from R.U. Nuts!  The bags of nuts sell for $4 each.  These make a great snack for the office, car or sports activity!

It's HONEY time!  We sell cute 12oz. honey bear shaped bottles filled with delicious clover honey ethically sourced from domestic hives right here in the upper Midwest.

Honey time involves volunteers (individuals, civic and service groups, and faith communities) who sell Honey Bears, Honey Taffee, and Bear Suckers throughout the community to raise awareness about developmental disabilities.  These volunteers might sell these products for a day, weekend, week, month or both months.  All proceeds support The Arc of Lincoln and its programs.

The honey is tested for microbial content, SCIRA/protein testing, pesticide detection, antibiotics detection and is packaged in BPA free plastic bottles.

If you would like to become a volunteer and sell honey for The Arc of Lincoln, contact us for more information or to make arrangements to pick up some honey.

If you would like to buy some of these honey products, they are available year round at The Arc of Lincoln.  Please call us at 402-421-8866 to check availability.

Honey Bears (12oz. bottle) are $5.00 each.
Honey Taffee (4oz. box, 8 flavors) aer $3.00 each.
Honey Bear Suckers (Wild Honey, Cinnamon & Lemon) are $1.50 each.
