Letter: 'Minks to Sinks' Thanks Wilton Community

Dear Wilton Community -

We were so happy to be back under the tents last week holding our Minks to Sinks tag sale to benefit Family & Children’s Agency (FCA) after having to cancel the last three sales due to the pandemic. We are so grateful for all the support we receive each year. Thank you for your generosity, donations, consignments, and shopping. We look forward to seeing you back under the tents in May for our Spring sale.

Thank you to our Wilton members, volunteers, and the FCA staff. Each year, more than 200 people gave more than 2,500 hours of their time to coordinate, work hard, and raise much needed funds. We also want to thank the Wilton high school student volunteers who came out to help setup and cleanup.

This incredible event has historically raised more than $100,000 each year for Family & Children’s Agency. Based in Norwalk, FCA is a social services organization serving thousands in the Fairfield County community. They supports children through after-school and summer programming, foster care for children with serious challenges, and mental health counseling. They help build and strengthen families through adoption services and in-home parenting education. They provide guidance and support for adults experiencing homelessness or struggling to overcome addiction. And their home care programs help seniors stay safe in their homes as they age.

If you are interested in learning more about the sale and volunteer opportunities, please email us at Mink2Sinks@gmail.com. To learn more about FCA, please visit www.familyandchildrensagency.org.
