At Neka Creative, we believe in the power of inclusivity. We also believe in the heart-felt spirit of giving to those in need. This holiday season, the Neka team volunteered at a local Arc Value Village Store unpacking, sorting, stocking, displaying and...re-displaying holiday items for the organization’s “Thriftmas” department. For more than 30 years, thanks to shoppers, donors and volunteers, Arc’s Value Village has helped make life better for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Their stores provide over a million dollars every year for The Arc Greater Twin Cities’ programs. To learn more about the organization or to make a donation, please visit www.arcsvaluevillage.org.
