Minks to Sinks Fall Sale 'A Resounding Success' In Wilton

**News Release Submitted by Family & Children's Agency**

Nov. 8, 2023

The Minks to Sinks fall sale was not dampened by a rainy Saturday. This beloved community tradition attracted an incredible outpouring of support from all corners of the area, giving donors and shoppers the opportunity to recycle unwanted items, hunt for bargains, and support Family & Children's Agency (FCA), a Norwalk-based nonprofit dedicated to providing human services for children, families, adults, and seniors.

Despite the challenges posed by a tremendous rainstorm on the opening day, thousands of dedicated shoppers came out in droves, demonstrating their unwavering enthusiasm for the event. Shoppers explored the wide array of items, ranging from housewares, clothing, and collectibles to toys, furniture, and sports equipment.

“For over nine decades, Minks to Sinks has been a cherished tradition in Wilton. The sale is organized and run by a dedicated team of more than 150 Wilton women who volunteer their time to set up, organize, manage, and clean up after the sale. I'm so incredibly proud of the impact our sale has on the larger community, the friendships made under the tent and especially our dedicated support of Family & Children's Agency," said Kim Healy, Chair of Minks to Sinks.

"Minks to Sinks generates critical funding for FCA, enabling us to further our mission of providing essential services to the community. It not only fosters sustainable practices through recycling but also offers remarkable opportunities for shoppers. This event serves as a beacon of support for our broader community in numerous ways, and I am deeply appreciative of the dedicated volunteers whose tireless efforts ensure its success with each and every sale," said Robert F. Cashel, President & CEO of FCA.

With the fall sale behind us, Minks to Sinks looks ahead to its next bi-annual event, scheduled for the weekend of May 4, 2024.
