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.

🌟 Mission Monday 🌟
As we head into Giving Tuesday, we want to pause and share a little bit of our heart with you.

Being a nonprofit means every program we offer, every service we provide, and every moment of support we give is made possible because of people who believe in our mission. When you choose to give to us, you’re helping create opportunities, independence, and brighter days for individuals with disabilities right here in our community.

Your generosity stays local. Your kindness reaches real people. Your support truly makes a difference.

Tomorrow, if you feel moved to give, we would be honored to be part of your Giving Tuesday. 💛
Thank you for walking alongside us, believing in our mission, and helping us continue the work that matters most.
