In the spirit of the season, residents are invited to join the Village of Wellington, along with community partners the Wellington InterFaith Council, the Christopher Aguirre Foundation, the Mall at Wellington Green, Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital, Don Chepo’s Taco Shop, Oli’s Fashion Cuisine, Wellington Regional Medical Center, Palm Beach County Fire-Rescue and the Palm Beach County Sheriff’s Office for the 10th annual Hometown Holiday Toy Drive.
“The holidays are about giving and helping those in need,” Mayor Anne Gerwig said. “Our residents have always been generous in assisting those less fortunate and ensuring that every child has a magical holiday. Your participation again this year is greatly appreciated as we celebrate this holiday season.”
In addition to toy donations, the village is also looking to provide basic necessities such as socks and underwear for children of all ages.
