The Darien Community Association (DCA) is working with Harvard Business School Community Partners to see if any changes should be made at the DCA Thrift Shop, the DCA announced.
To guide the effort, the DCA and the consultants will gather community input through a survey, data analysis and focus groups.

“We want to ensure we continue to meet the needs of our shoppers, donors, and volunteers.” said Debra Danile, manager of the thrift shop, which was founded 94 years ago, in 1931.

“The DCA Thrift Shop is already a success story, and we’re excited to help shape its next chapter,” said Angela Piscitello, from Harvard Business School Community Partners. “By listening to the community first and foremost, then applying best practices, we will build a strategy that sustains revenue, boosts volunteer engagement, and aligns with the DCA’s broader community programs.”
The DCA Thrift Shop provides affordable shopping, supports local families, and generates funds for community programs.
