Before you know it, the kids will be back in school for another year of learning. The Kiwanis Club of Wellington is raising funds and having a supply drive to provide school supplies for our elementary and middle school children. Please help us provide the new supplies that our kids will need to be successful this coming school year. A trip to Wellington’s Discount Drug Mart in 2023 showed us that the required supplies for a fourth grade student cost between $50 and $60 then. Imagine the total cost today for families with multiple students in elementary and middle school!
Kiwanis will also collect and use monetary donations to purchase supplies in bulk and distribute them at the “Back to School Bash” on August 15 at the McCormick Middle School Gymnasium.
The supplies you purchase should be from the 2026-27 supply lists for each grade level. New supplies from these lists can be dropped off until noon August 13 at the following locations:
150 beds for kids who do not have a bed to sleep on. That is the goal of the Bed Build at the Wellington Town Hall today. WHS athletes are getting an early start on sanding the wood, and the drilling, branding, and staining stations are being set up. Come on down and spend an hour (or four) building beds between 10 and 2. Join Good Knights of Lorain County, the Masonic Lodge, the Wellington Eagles, and Wellington Kiwanis in this community project. A child you may never know will thank you. ... See MoreSee Less
