Wellington's annual holiday food drive is accepting donations through Friday, November 13, 2026.

The Village is partnering with Wellington Regional Medical Center, and contributions will benefit local families in need.

Requested items include boxed mashed potatoes, stuffing, canned vegetables, cornbread mix, cranberry sauce and turkey gravy.

All food should be nonperishable, unopened and unexpired.

Check package dates before donating and choose items from the requested list that fit your budget.

Listed drop-off locations include Village Hall, 12300 Forest Hill Boulevard; Village Park, 11700 Pierson Road; Wellington Community Center, 12150 Forest Hill Boulevard; and Wellington Tennis Center, 3100 Lyons Road.

Thursday Nights in Wellington at the Amphitheater, 12100 Forest Hill Boulevard, is another collection opportunity.

Confirm receiving hours and any event changes before making a trip.

If organizing donations with neighbors, assign someone to inspect the items and deliver them before the deadline.

Wellington residents seeking holiday assistance should call the Community Center at 561-753-2484 for current information.

Do not assume that previous eligibility or distribution arrangements still apply.

The separate toy drive accepts new, unwrapped toys through December 11.

Keep that later date distinct from the food deadline, and check the Village's official pages before sharing collection details or making delivery plans.

Wellington has completed a tree canopy assessment designed to give the Village a measurable picture of its urban forest.

Announced February 27, 2026, the mapping and analysis are intended to help track benefits connected to air quality, carbon storage, stormwater runoff and the urban heat-island effect.

The Village has not released neighborhood-level results in its public announcement, so the assessment should be viewed as a planning baseline rather than proof that every area has enough shade.

A separate $50,000 grant project completed in August adds practical context.

Wellington reported planting 154 Florida native trees on a Village-owned site, including sabal palms, live oaks, green buttonwoods, pigeon plums and wild tamarinds.

The wider goal is a more diverse, wind-resistant urban forest that can better handle storms, pests and disease.

Residents can support that effort at home by matching a tree’s mature size to the available space, checking soil, sunlight, drainage, utilities and community rules before planting.

Native does not automatically mean suitable for every yard, and placement and maintenance remain essential.

The next detail to watch is whether Wellington publishes the assessment’s coverage figures and plantable-area findings.

Those results would help residents understand where shade is strongest, where gaps remain and how future planting projects may be prioritized.

Friday’s storms changed the local football schedule. The Palm Beach Post’s Week 9 report lists both Wellington-area matchups as postponed rather than completed games.

Wellington vs. Santaluces: The October 16 matchup was moved to Monday, October 26. No final score is reported here.

Palm Beach Central at Jupiter: The October 16 matchup was rescheduled for Monday, October 19, at 6:30 p.m. Eastern, according to the current MaxPreps game listing. Its result was not available at this roundup’s Monday midday check.

Wellington's National Night Out with PBSO is scheduled for Thursday, October 22, from 6 to 9 p.m. The free gathering takes place at the Wellington Amphitheater, 12100 Forest Hill Boulevard.

The Village event page invites residents to meet local first responders and enjoy family activities. Bounce houses and an obstacle course are among the advertised attractions, although a full activity timetable is not provided.

The evening falls during National Crime Prevention Month. The national campaign emphasizes relationships between neighbors and law enforcement, making the gathering a useful opportunity for introductions and general resource questions.

Families can prepare by agreeing on arrival, meeting, and pickup arrangements. Explain the outing to children without promising an unconfirmed demonstration, vehicle, or giveaway. If a particular attraction matters, check for updated details beforehand.

Bring one practical question, such as where to find official neighborhood information or whom to contact for a community concern. Save any resource or contact you receive so you can follow up afterward. Agree on a recognizable meeting place if neighbors or friends will be arriving separately during the evening.

Recheck the dated calendar listing before leaving, since event arrangements may change. The Village lists 561-753-2484 for additional information. Invite a neighbor and leave time for conversation alongside the children's activities.

Save the event address and RSVP number together, and allow time to find the entrance and check in.

No registration deadline or capacity figure was supplied in the information reviewed, so do not assume that a place will be available without calling.

Before leaving home, check the official calendar or contact the Community Center for any changes.
