Looking for something a little more elevated this spring? This one’s for the moms, the daughters, and honestly—anyone who loves a good excuse to dress up and sip tea for a cause.
The Mother’s Day Tea hosted by Family & Children’s Agency is back on Wednesday, April 29, 2026 (11 AM – 3 PM) at Woodway Country Club in Darien—bringing together the community for an afternoon that’s equal parts elegant and meaningful.
A Spring Event With a Purpose
This isn’t just tea and sandwiches (although yes, there will be plenty of both).
Guests can expect light bites, refreshments, and a program presentation, all set in a polished, welcoming atmosphere that feels like the perfect kickoff to Mother’s Day season.
It’s the kind of event where you can slow down, catch up with friends, and celebrate the women in your life—all while supporting something bigger.
Shop While You Sip
One of the highlights? A curated shopping boutique featuring local vendors—aka your chance to find the perfect Mother’s Day gift while you’re there.
Even better: 10% of all purchases go back to Family & Children’s Agency, so every little find helps give back.
Why It Matters
Proceeds from the event support Family & Children’s Agency and also honor the legacy of two dedicated volunteers, Allison Barton Haupt and Charlotte Taverna, whose impact continues to shape the organization’s work.
FCA serves thousands of people across Fairfield County with programs focused on mental health, family support, and basic needs—so events like this help keep those services going strong.
The 203local Take
This is one of those events that feels classic in the best way—timeless, community-driven, and actually meaningful.
Whether you’re planning something special with your mom, grabbing your friends, or just looking for a different kind of daytime event, this is a solid add to your spring calendar.
Dress cute, sip something warm, and show up for a cause.
