Membership Year Details
Our membership year runs from August 1 through July 31 — but you can join anytime! A new year begins every August, and that’s when all new perks roll out. For example, a fresh arc Thrift Store discount card is mailed to anyone who renews their membership during that annual cycle.
No matter when you join, all cards expire on July 31 of each year. Renew each year to stay active, keep your perks current, and continue supporting people with intellectual and developmental disabilities in our community.
