“The Minks to Sinks sales have become a biannual tradition in Wilton and we are so grateful to the group for their longstanding support and hard work,” said Robert F. Cashel, President & CEO of Family & Children’s Agency.

Minks to Sinks is a women-run group with more than 80 years of history. Each year, hundreds of thousands of items are donated or consigned to the two epic tag sales held under tents near the Wilton High School tennis courts. All proceeds benefit Family & Children’s Agency, a nonprofit human services organization serving more than 13,000 children, families, adults, and seniors each year.
