Information via Person to Person DARIEN, CT — Person to Person (P2P) officially re-opened its main Darien-based clothing center last week, following a two-year shift due to COVID-19 restrictions and extended building maintenance at its main location. Today, the renovated clothing center offers a store-like shopping experience for clients looking for women's, men's and children's clothing. The clothing center's shift included the creation of "clothing pop-ups" at the Darien location, followed by a temporary move to the South Norwalk Community Center, thanks to a partnership with The Norwalk YMCA, to meet the high demand for clothing. "We are thrilled to welcome clients back to our main clothing center in Darien," P2P CEO Nancy Coughlin said in a news release. "Clothing is at the heart of P2P, and is one of the first services offered to the community since we first opened our doors in 1968." The clothing center is a vital source of new and gently-used clothing for thousands in the community. The success of the clothing center is thanks to a dedicated team of P2P staff and volunteers, led by clothing center manager Leah Quinn, and the generous community for their donations. Last year the clothing center distributed more than 26,000 bags of clothing. The clothing center is open to everyone. Appointments are required to maintain social distancing. Clients may visit the clothing center as often as every 60 days. For appointments, call 203-655-0048. P2P is currently accepting only new and gently-used spring/summer clothing and footwear. To help volunteer clothing sorters, make sure that all clothing is clean, bagged, sorted and labeled. You may drop off donations in the clothing center sorting area at P2P, 1864 Post Road, Darien, CT Monday – Friday, 9 a.m. – 1 p.m. Volunteers at the clothing center are welcome.
