OUR HEART

Arc Thrift Stores operates 24 thrift stores and 15 “donation stations” throughout Colorado. Store operations provide funding to arc Chapters, which in turn provide advocacy for people with intellectual and developmental disabilities. Arc Thrift Stores is one of the largest employers of individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities in the state of Colorado. Avocet has worked with arc Thrift Stores since 2007 implementing integrated marketing programs that have helped boost sales, drive customer count, and position the brand in the region as a community advocate and retail destination.

BraveHoods is a Colorado-based social enterprise and apparel organization with a mission to give children who are fighting cancer a fashion-forward alternative to hats, scarves, or wigs.

The mission of the "I Have a Dream" program is to motivate and empower children from low-income communities to reach their education and career goals by providing a long-term intervention program of mentoring, tutoring, and cultural enrichment. Avocet developed a new design and branded content to help position the organization within the community.

Avocet created collateral materials for the organization and its website.

The mission of the Rocky Mountain Down Syndrome Association is to assure inclusion and enhance the independence of people with Down syndrome. Lori Jones sits on RMDSA’s board, and the agency has been integral in helping to position the organization with its key constituents and with the Colorado community. Avocet created RMDSA’s brochures for their corporate and medical audiences, as well as created copy and an entirely new design for its website.
