In the spirit of giving and to ensure that no village resident goes without a hot meal this Thanksgiving, the Village of Wellington invites residents to participate in the annual Holiday Food Drive. The village is partnering with local community partners and their various organizations to receive donated food items for this year’s drive.
Donations will be accepted Tuesday, Sept. 3 through Friday, Nov. 15. Residents are asked to contribute non-perishable food items that have not exceeded their expiration dates. Items needed include canned vegetables (green beans, peas, corn, sweet potatoes), cornbread muffin mix, cranberry sauce, mashed potatoes, packaged stuffing and turkey gravy.
Convenient drop-off locations for donations can be found at several village facilities, including the Wellington Tennis Center at 3100 Lyons Road, Wellington Village Hall at 12300 W. Forest Hill Blvd., Village Park at 11700 Pierson Road and the Wellington Community Center at 12150 W. Forest Hill Blvd. Donations will also be taken at Wellington’s Lakeside Market, held Thursday nights at the Wellington Amphitheater, located at 12100 W. Forest Hill Blvd.
The community is invited to participate and make a difference in the lives of neighbors this holiday.
