Wellington Eagles Covid 19 Food drive.

​               In late June a casual conversation about helping during the current crisis led to the idea of the Wellington Eagles giving back to the community with a food drive. Plans were made and it was determined that the Aerie would match up to $1000.00 in cash contributions.
 
               When the event posted, Aerie member, and local business owner, Steve Neff of Wellington Music stepped up and donated the first $1000. That inspired Eagles Trustee Bill Schramm to match that contribution with $1000. from his business, Schramm’s Shirts & Cards. On hearing of the generosity of fellow business owners, David King of King Realty contacted the Eagles and added another $1000.. The Wellington Eagles added $1000. and the Aerie food drive started with $4000 in contributions.

                Eagles President Bret Markel, and members Mike Lutz & Christina Lutz recruited members Dreama Bolen, Jay & Chris Miller, Jeff Miller, and Dan Jordan to work the food drive.

               Saturday May 16, 2020 the volunteers collected food and donations for Well Help. The food drive was deemed a success with a total of $4398.00 cash & checks, and half a trailer of food, supply’s, and toiletries were collected for the Wellington Well Help food cupboard. At the end of the day the Wellington Eagles chose to contribute an additional $4000. to the event, bringing the total contribution to $12,398.00 cash.
