AbleLight is celebrating the grand opening of its newly relocated Thrift Shop at 2269 True Lane, Green Bay, Sept. 5 with a ribbon cutting, give aways and more.
Marco’s Pizza will serve pizza by the slice. Food trucks by Asian Haven Co., Paco’s Tacos, Buddy’s Breakfast Burgers & Burritos, and Grounded Cafe will be on-site from 10 am. to 2 p.m. Grounded Cafe, operated by people with intellectual and developmental disabilities, will offer a discount on food to customers who present their ADRC card.
Nicole, a Thrift Shop employee with developmental disabilities who sells her handmade bracelets at the Neenah store location, will sell her bracelets at the grand opening.
The first 100 customers at AbleLight’s Green Bay location will receive giveaway bags with contributions from several neighboring and area businesses joining in the celebration.
All Thrift Shop proceeds go toward funding services for people with developmental disabilities, including housing and employment support. Each store also creates job opportunities. At least 25% of positions are reserved for individuals with disabilities, and they currently hold 40%.
The Green Bay location is open Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m., and Sunday from noon to 4 p.m. Donation hours are Monday to Saturday from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. To learn more about AbleLight’s Thrift Shop locations, visit https://ablelight.org/thrift-stores/.
