A Beloved Tradition Returns: The Children’s Giving Shop at the Junior League of Greenwich

The Junior League of Greenwich invites local families to celebrate the joy of giving at the Children's Giving Shop on Saturday, November 21, 2026, from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. at the Junior League House, 231 East Putnam Avenue, Greenwich. Admission is free, and pre-registration is required.

A beloved community tradition, the Children's Giving Shop lets children ages 4 and up shop independently for gifts for family and friends. With help from Junior League volunteers, young shoppers can select thoughtful surprises from a wide inventory of new and gently used items for the special people in their lives and experience the excitement of giving.

Volunteers help the children calculate what they can buy with their budgets, then wrap each present so they can surprise their loved ones during the holidays.

"There is something so special about watching children discover the joy of choosing a gift for someone they love," said Sara Burns Davis, president of the Junior League of Greenwich. "We are delighted to welcome families back for this beloved tradition, bringing our community together while supporting the work of the League."

Families can also enjoy crafts, seasonal treats, and photo opportunities, making the event a festive way to kick off the holiday season together.

Admission is free; gift purchases are additional. Funds raised go directly toward supporting community projects identified, designed, and implemented by the Junior League of Greenwich.
