GREAT DEALS FOR A GOOD CAUSE - Westfair Communications

Shoppers feeling good about their haul from Minks to Sinks.

The bi-annual Minks to Sinks tag sale in Wilton, Connecticut, was a huge success in bringing donations and shoppers from the area to recycle unwanted items, shop for bargains, and support Family & Children”™s Agency (FCA), a Norwalk-based nonprofit providing human services for children, families, adults and seniors.

Thousands of shoppers attended the sale and found everything from housewares, clothing and collectibles, to toys, furniture and sports equipment.

Minks to Sinks has been running since 1931 and is organized by more than 150 Wilton-area women who set-up, organize and clean up after the sale.

“It was so exciting to see the tent fill up with incredible donations and then to see the shoppers come and find treasures to purchase,” said Kim Healy, co-chair of Minks to Sinks.

“Minks to Sinks raises substantial funds for FCA while also encouraging recycling and supporting those who can”™t afford necessities by making them available at low or no cost through this sale,” said Robert F. Cashel, president and CEO of Family & Children”™s Agency.

Family & Children”™s provides services for community members of all ages and a variety of needs: behavioral and mental health, addiction recovery services, after-school programs, parenting counseling, homeless services, family counseling, foster care training and home care for older adults.

The bi-annual sale will be held again the weekend of Oct. 1. For more, visit FamilyandChildrensAgency.org and MinkstoSinks.org or on social media.
