Wellington Community Services Center & Food Pantry

For over forty years, the Wellington Food Pantry has served as a means through which the people of Wellington have cared for one another. Over time, the needs of our community have grown – so now, we’re doing the same.

Brick Campaign Flyer

Buy A Brick and Help Build The Community Services Center

The CSC ‘Buy a Brick’ campaign makes it easy for you to help local families who will benefit from your support for many years to come. Bricks generously donated by the family of Dan McGuire.

When you buy a brick for $150, your generosity will help lay the physical foundation of this very special facility. This means we can move closer to opening the Wellington CSC/Food Pantry.

With your brick sponsorship, you can add a personalized laser engraved brick to the CSC/ Food Pantry Courtyard. Each brick may be engraved with up to three lines of 17 characters on each line. Bricks may be dedicated to a family, in a business name or in memory of a loved one. These bricks will be a permanent part of the Center’s landscape, and the donations will go towards our CSC/Food Pantry Campaign fund.

Purchase your personalized brick today and help us build a future where everyone can access nutritious food!

What are we doing?

Grace Village recently purchased property to create a permanent home for the Wellington Community Services Center & Food Pantry. The property at 3520 Harrison Avenue in Wellington includes a 2,323 square foot warehouse on three city lots with fenced yard.

Why are we doing this?

As the town of Wellington has expanded, so has the importance of the Food Pantry. The number of people living in poverty has increased and food insecurity has escalated. In the past year alone, we have seen a stunning 40% increase in individuals served.

What is the goal?

Our goal is to create a permanent home for the Food Pantry, allowing for expanded hours and a greater variety of food to meet the critical needs of our community. Grace Village has the funds to purchase the property outright.

How can you help?

Your gift will provide the final support needed to get the Community Services Center & Food Pantry up and running.

FROM OUR PARTNERS AT THE FOOD BANK FOR LARIMER COUNTY

Hunger in Larimer County often goes unnoticed. We live in a great community, so it’s easy to overlook hunger when it doesn’t touch you or someone you love. That’s because hunger hides behind closed doors. It lives in the home of a single mother who skips dinner to make sure her children have enough to eat. It lives in the apartment of the grandfather who has to choose between a meal and taking his medicine. It lives in the bedroom of a young child who has to make it all night without food until the next school day when she knows she will be fed.
