On Friday, Dec. 6, Our Community Cares, previously known as Wellington Cares, held its 13th annual meeting and volunteer appreciation luncheon at Los Agaves in Royal Palm Beach. The event began with a welcome to guests and a moment of silence for the fallen PBSO officers. Guests were treated to lunch and heard about the accomplishments that the organization has had over the last year, including 53 dedicated volunteers giving 3,241 hours of service to 143 participants. This included 638 medical trips, 19,982 miles driven and an estimated value of free services of $147,260. The afternoon concluded with certificates being presented to volunteers who donated between 50 and 100 hours over the past year, and those who donated more than 100. After lunch, volunteers delivered poinsettias that were donated by the Wellington Community Foundation to participants. To learn more about Our Community Cares, visit www.ourcommunitycaresfl.org.
