Residents Encouraged to Donate to Wellington’s Hometown Holiday Food Drive
The holidays are all about the three F’s: family, friends, and food. But for some of our neighbors, there’s the added stress of not knowing whether they can afford to get a hot Thanksgiving meal on the table. That’s why Wellington is partnering with local faith based organizations, the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office, Palm Beach County Fire Rescue, Whole Foods, Publix, Ultima Fitness, and Walgreens for its annual Hometown Holiday Food Drive. Donations are being accepted through Monday, November 18th, with residents encouraged to contribute the following food items:
- Instant mashed potatoes
- Packaged stuffing (mix)
- Cornbread mix
- Cranberry sauce
- Turkey gravy
- Canned vegetables
Food can be dropped off at Village Hall, the Safe Neighborhoods Office, the Wellington Community Center, Village Park, Ultima Fitness, PBSO’s District 8 office, and Walgreens located in the Wellington Market Place. Residents wishing to make a cash donation to fund a complete dinner may contact the Community Services department at (561) 791-4796.
All food donations will go directly to local families in need. Residents looking for assistance can contact Wellington’s Community Services department at (561)791-4796 or their local house of worship.
Special thanks to our community sponsors Whole Foods Market, Ultima Fitness, the Wellington office of Keller Williams Realty, and Walgreens. Sponsorship opportunities are still available. Contact Scott Campbell, Community Projects Manager, at (561) 791-4105 for more info!
