Mardi Gras Beads-n-More

Mardi Gras Beads-n-More is a LARC’s Enterprises, which creates jobs and opportunities for individuals with developmental disabilities. LARC’s Acadian Village hours are Monday-Friday from 9am-5:30 pm. It is here you will find LARC individuals sorting through beads. They are first measured by size then bundled into a dozen of the same size/length. They are then bagged according to specific size.
​
Our sizes range from 33″ length to 72″ length. Depending on donations, we carry a stock of stuffed animals, specialty beads, trinkets and the ever-popular grab bags.
​
Goodwill Industries of Acadiana collects beads at all of their Acadiana locations. LARC and Goodwill are in partnership to collect beads. Beads can be donated good or bad. Many of the beads are also donated by generous individuals in our community including schools who participate each year in Operation Bead Collection. Thanks, we couldn’t do it without you!
​
All proceeds benefit LARC’s Vocational Services Department.
​
If you wish to pre-order your beads, please contact us for more information. We can sort by size, color and amount.

PLEASE NOTE: Special orders (all same color) will be charged an additional $2 per bag. Special orders should be made as soon as possible.
