Elks National Foundation Grant
On December 7, the WCF received a $3,000 grant from the Elks National Foundation for the Wilmington Food Pantry.
​Special thanks to Diane Manory for submitting the grant application. The members of the Tewksbury-Wilmington Lodge of Elks also volunteered at the pantry, by helping to stock the shelves from the food donations we receive. Great work and appreciated the help.

Did you know that July 29th is National Lasagna Day? However, Lasagna Love is all about spreading kindness far and wide, so we have decided to go BIG and rather than celebrate just one day -- we have set a goal to make 5000 lasagnas between July 24 to August 1! This is about 500 more than we have ever done in this timeframe!
If you, or someone you know, could use a break from cooking and would like to request a FREE lasagna, we would be happy to deliver one to you at no cost! (No, seriously, please ask...we have a goal to crush...not just tomatoes!) Requesting takes about 60 seconds at: www.lasagnalove.org
Happy (almost) National Lasagna Day!! 🧡🧡🧡
