Wellington’s 2026 Holiday Food Drive is accepting donations through Friday, Nov. 13, giving residents a final window to help local families ahead of Thanksgiving. The Village is requesting unopened, unexpired nonperishable foods that can support a traditional holiday meal and says all donated food will go directly to local families in need.
Needed items include boxed mashed potatoes, boxed or packaged stuffing, canned vegetables, cornbread mix, cranberry sauce and turkey gravy. The Village specifically lists green beans, peas, corn and sweet potatoes among the canned vegetables it needs. Choosing items from that published list helps make a donation immediately useful. One item or a small bundle can be dropped off during a normal errand.
Drop-off locations include Village Hall, Village Park, the Wellington Community Center, the Wellington Tennis Center and Thursday Nights in Wellington at the Amphitheater. Residents can add a few items to their normal grocery run, check expiration dates, then drop them off at a convenient Village location before the deadline.
Those seeking holiday food assistance should contact the Wellington Community Center at 561-753-2484. The separate Holiday Toy Drive continues through Dec. 11, but Thanksgiving food donations need to be delivered by Nov. 13. Sharing the deadline and item list is another simple way to help.
