Wellington has partnered with CROS ministries to provide a mobile pantry program to serve residents in need.
 
Organizers and volunteers from CROS ministries distribute food at a walk-up food pantry at Village Park (11700 Pierson Rd). The pantry, located near the eastside gymnasium lobby, is open Fridays from 9:30 AM to 11:30 AM. Some Fridays may be excluded depending on scheduling.
 
Due to the rise in COVID-19, this pantry offers pre-bagged food items with “limited choice” grocery food items.   The goal of this pantry is to transition to a “choice” pantry, where participants are able to select the grocery food items of their preference.  The pantry operates on a first-come, first-served basis, and recipients must bring a photo ID.
 
CROS ministries serves the hungry and operates pantries throughout Palm Beach and Martin counties through community collaborations.   This no-cost public service was made possible through an in-kind donation of facility space by the Village of Wellington. For more information, and to verify hours of operation, call 211 or contact CROS ministries at 561-233-9009
