Bag Day is every Wednesday and Friday- $4.00 The North Platte Opportunity Center is dedicated to making a difference in the lives of people with developmental disabilities in Lincoln County and the surrounding area. A New Opportunity Thrift Store offers public shopping and is a day service training site. Individuals work on sorting, hanging, displaying goods, and waiting on customers.
