Christ Child Opportunity Shop

Christ Child Opportunity Shop

A charity shop on Wisconsin Avenue run entirely by volunteers since 1955, with proceeds funding the Christ Child Society of Washington's programmes for children in low-income families across the city, including school clothing and literacy work. The ground floor takes donated clothing, books and household goods at ordinary charity-shop prices, while the upper floor operates as a consignment room for antiques, silver, porcelain, prints and jewellery, reflecting the estates of a wealthy neighbourhood. The mix means finds range from unremarkable to genuinely good, and stock turns over quickly. It is one of a small cluster of long-established charity and consignment shops on this stretch of Georgetown. Opening days are limited, so checking before setting out is sensible.
