The Wellington Community Foundation hosted its 2018 Kickoff Fundraiser on Friday, May 18 at the Wellington Community Center. The event raised more than $35,000, which will be used to help Wellington seniors, children and veterans in need with various home improvement projects. In cooperation with the Village of Wellington, the foundation will continue “neighbor helping neighbor” efforts by identifying those in need and working to find solutions that help seniors age in place, families with children live in a safe environment, as well as finding ways for veterans to be more independent in their homes.
