Chapel Hill nonprofit Extraordinary Ventures will assume operations of the historic CommunityWorx Thrift Shop at 125 West Main Street in Carrboro. The move continues the shop’s mission while expanding inclusive employment opportunities for adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities.
Key points:
- Shop updates will follow Universal Design Principles for accessibility.
- Partnership opportunities with schools and community groups aim to enhance local impact.
- Extraordinary Ventures already manages multiple businesses, including event services, cleaning, and gift production, all supporting I/DD workforce employment.
This transition honors the shop’s 70+ year history while evolving its mission to meet modern community needs.
