Wellington Food Pantry’s History
Back in the late 1980s, a group of people, many from Zion Lutheran Church in Wellington, became aware of a need in the community and decided to do something about it. Thus, the Wellington Food Pantry was born, providing vital help to those in need. Soon, a partnership was formed with the Food Bank for Larimer County, which continues to this day.
For many decades, the Food Pantry has served as a means through which the people of Wellington have cared for one another. All the churches of the community have been supportive, with the Wellington Community Church providing a home for the ministry for around twenty years. River of Life Church has graciously provided a temporary home for the last five years. In early 2026, the Food Pantry moved to a new location at Eyestone Elementary School. The location has allowed the expansion of open hours from twice monthly to twice weekly to better meet the needs of the community. This will be the Food Pantry’s home until their new building, the Wellington Community Services Center, is completed.
