Get Your Gifts Wrapped At The Depot For A Good Cause

DARIEN, CT — The Depot Youth Center is holding its annual "Wrap Up" fundraiser over the next week, offering residents a convenient way to have their gifts wrapped while supporting programs for local teens.

From Dec. 18 through Dec. 23, residents can drop off unwrapped presents at The Depot, 25 Heights Road, and pick them up fully wrapped, ribboned and ready for the holidays.

For a minimum donation of $40 and a suggested donation of $4 per gift, volunteers will handle the wrapping. Residents may bring their own paper, ribbon and tags or allow the Depot’s student "elves" to select from the center’s supply of festive materials.

All proceeds support The Depot’s youth programs for teens and tweens, including student-led clubs, leadership initiatives and community service opportunities aimed at fostering belonging and resilience.

Drop-off hours are as follows:

• Thursday, Dec. 18: 10 a.m. to 8 p.m.
• Friday, Dec. 19: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m.
