Abilities Unlimited Inc.

Abilities Unlimited Inc. Our Mission is simple: To Improve the Living & Working Conditions of Individuals with Disabilities We aren't just a thrift store; we're that and SO much more!

Abilities Unlimited Incorporated (AUI) was founded
April 1, 1963 by a group of concerned citizens spearheaded by the Jonesboro Jaycee's group. A start-up grant helped to open the first facility and AUI soon became a beacon for the community. Our primary concern is to provide for and assist individuals with disabilities. It is not the Disability in a person, rather the Ability that defines who you are. Throughout the years, we've experienced several fires and setbacks in our facilities. Though detrimental to our buildings, our spirits did not waiver. We sought new locations, received new grants, and broadened our operations. We grew so fast we needed more space and acquired more buildings, transportation, and sub-contracts! Currently, we employ over 300 people! We service the Jonesboro area through our thrift stores (311 Union Ave), The Unlimited upscale resale boutique (410 West Huntington), If you are interested in donating items for our thrift or consignment stores, please visit 410 West Huntington, Personal Adjustment Center (710 Walnut Street), Adult Development Day Treatment, Consumer Services, Administrative Office (North Church) and Recycling center (806 Burke). Our Paragould operations take place at 121 North 2nd Street. The Unlimited, Thrift Store and the Adult Development Day Treatment are all located in the heart of downtown Paragould. We also offer our products and services in Blytheville, AR, at our Adult Development Day Treatment (2100 Texas Street, Blytheville, AR)

We provide secure document shredding; the customer will receive a secure locked container (or containers if needed), pick up at your convenience, re-stock with a new empty container, and service your product upon request. We shred everything in house and recycle the contents afterwards. This is a rapidly growing business and we predict it to continue as more contacts are made! If you are interested in shredding opportunities with AUI, please call Dustin Stinson 870-277-2772

Abilities Unlimited offers a vast array of opportunities for a diverse group of individuals. If you would like to learn more about employment opportunities, please visit our website at www.aui.org for a printable application or visit the AUI Facebook homepage for job posts.

✨ Mission Monday Update! ✨
If you’ve dropped off donations the last few days, you’ve definitely noticed the glow-up beginning. Yep, friends… construction is officially in full swing at our Burke location!

Our donation center has scooted over to the side of the building—just follow those cute little signs pointing the way 😉
Meanwhile, the front building (aka our storefront) is getting its big makeover moment, and we are buzzing with excitement.

Thank you SO much for your patience, your support, and your hype as we kick off this new chapter. We cannot WAIT to show you the final look and all the magic this journey is about to bring! ✨

🚧 Big things are happening at Abilities Unlimited! 🚧

Our donation center at 806 Burke is currently under construction, and we’re so excited for what’s coming next! 🛠️✨

We kindly ask for a little patience if it takes us a bit longer to come out and assist you — we promise it’s all part of creating something even better for our community. 💛

Thank you for supporting us through the glow-up — we can’t wait to show you the finished outcome! 🌟

Tomorrow, 11/11, our hearts are turned toward the heroes among us.
The ones who stood up. The ones who served. The ones who carried courage where most of us only carry fear.

So in honor of Veterans Day, we want to give back in the way we can:

Veterans receive:
