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. We are in constant need for caring, giving individuals with a passion to assist with our programs.

🧊💅 UPDATE: The ice tried it… and lost 💅🧊

That’s right babes, we’re back in action tomorrow, Wednesday 1/28.
All Abilities Unlimited offices and retail locations will reopen as normal.

However, while most of us are stepping back in confidently…
✨ Our ADDT program and our Burke location will remain CLOSED ✨
Safety still comes first, and they’re sitting this one out just a bit longer.

Thank you for your patience through the icy chaos. Watch your steps, stay safe, and we can’t wait to see you tomorrow. ❄️👢💙

❄️🧊 Tuesday Update: Ice, Ice… Nope 🧊❄️

The roads are icy, the walkways are slick, and absolutely no one needs to be doing the slip-and-slide right now. Because of these conditions, all Abilities Unlimited offices, ADDT programs, all retail locations, and our donation center will be CLOSED Tuesday for everyone’s safety.

We love our people way too much to risk icy adventures. So today is for staying put, staying warm, and letting the ice melt without an audience. ☕🧣✨

Thank you for understanding and bearing with us while winter shows off. Please stay safe out there, and we’ll be back as soon as the roads and sidewalks decide to cooperate. 💙❄️

🌨️📢 Monday Update: Weather is STILL doing the most 📢🌨️

Even though it’s Monday and we tried to summon productive energy, the weather said, “Not today.”
Due to continued weather conditions, all Abilities Unlimited offices, ADDT programs, all retail locations, and our donation center will remain CLOSED today, Monday, for the safety of our employees, individuals served, and customers.

We hate hitting pause, but safety is non-negotiable and always the main priority. Please stay warm, stay safe, avoid the icy chaos, and know we’re counting the minutes until we can reopen and get back to serving our community.

Thank you for your patience, your understanding, and your cozy-weather grace. ❄️🧣☕
We’ll keep you posted and hope to see you very soon. 💙✨

✨ Mission Monday: Kindness Counts ✨

💛 Today’s mission: Wear your kindness proudly, because kindness is always in style.

In our stores, style goes beyond what’s on the racks. It looks like patience. It feels like encouragement. It sounds like a kind word while someone learns a new skill or takes pride in a job well done.

When you shop with us, you’re helping create meaningful work opportunities for people with disabilities right here in our community. Every purchase helps build confidence, independence, and a sense of belonging. The kind of things that never go out of fashion.

🛍️ How to accept the mission:
• Shop with intention
• Bring a friend thrifting with you
• Share a smile, a compliment, a moment of grace
• Support a mission that keeps impact local

✨ Trends come and go. Deals change.
But kindness? Always in style.

💙✨ Mission Monday ✨💙

Inside our ADDT program, life is made up of small, meaningful moments.

Morning hellos.
Familiar routines.
Skills practiced until confidence begins to bloom.

It’s encouragement when something feels hard. Pride when something finally clicks. Laughter woven into learning. Every day is about growth, independence, and knowing you belong in a place that truly sees you.

These moments may seem simple—but they are life-changing. They build confidence, stability, and belief that reaches far beyond our doors.

Because here, progress isn’t rushed.
Growth is celebrated.
And every single person matters. 💙

💙✨ National Motivation & Inspiration Day ✨💙

Abilities Unlimited is more than a name.
It’s a promise.

A promise that people with disabilities in Jonesboro, Arkansas are seen, valued, and capable of incredible things—no matter how many times the world has told them otherwise. It’s a place where confidence is rebuilt, skills are discovered, and purpose is found one shift, one task, one victory at a time.

Every day, we witness moments that inspire us beyond words.
Quiet wins. Big breakthroughs. Smiles that mean everything.
This work is deeply personal. It’s heart work. And it stays right here in our community, because every dollar raised goes back into creating opportunity, independence, and belonging.

Today is about motivation.
Today is about inspiration.
And nothing motivates us more than watching someone realize their own potential.

On National Motivation & Inspiration Day, we’re filled with gratitude—for the support, the belief, and the love that keeps this mission moving forward. Thank you for standing with us, for lifting others up, and for helping us prove that abilities are unlimited when someone is given a chance. 💙

Together, we are changing lives—and that is something truly powerful.
