Back to School Shoe & Backpack Giveaway
Wellington’s Community Services Department is giving away backpacks filled with school supplies, and shoes – just in time for the new school year. Community Services staff will give away more than 200 pairs of shoes, of all sizes, to residents in need. The team will also handout dozens of backpacks stocked with school essentials to local children.
The giveaway will take place Friday, August 14th, 2015 from 9:00am – 11:00am at the Community Services Office (1092 Wellington Trace).
The giveaway is the result of a partnership between the Community Services team, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, the Christopher Aguirre Memorial Foundation, the Lake Worth Scottish Rite Masonic Center, B/E Aerospace, and the Neil S. Hirsch Boys & Girls Club.
Due to a limited number of supplies, residents are encouraged to come early.
If you have any questions contact Community Services at 561-791-4764.
