The Turnover Shop in Wilton, CT is located just around the corner and below the Wilton Village Market (best food store in town!) Yes, it is the local thrift shop!This shop benefits the Wilton school system - all donations and monies made go directly to the schools in town. They have a wonderful system, whereby one can pop in anytime between 10 am and 4 pm and just drop donations, pick up a donation tax sheet, and out you go. If you wanted to consign items, you would need to go between 10 am and noon on only Tuesdays and Thursdays. Most everyone just drops donations from their b and runs. It is a nice way to clean out your home closets, and contribute to the Wilton schools.
The staff is 100% volunteer, and most have been working there for at least 20 years, if not a lot longer. They know everyone in town, and all that is going on in town.
Many folks go in and browse the racks during the consignment drop off times, as that's when the pricier items will come in. There are always fabulous treasures to be found! Beautiful mink coats have been known to be dropped off!
When too many things have been dropped off, or the items are too large to have there (furniture,) they will simply send the extras off to Bridgeport, where all will be put to great use.
Do you have a place like this in your town? And a benefit to a worthy local cause?
The Turnover Shop in Wilton, CT is the place to volunteer and be! -- and still give to the Wilton Schools!!!
