Blessing Fund delays deadline as holiday aid aid efforts expand
The Blessing fund seeks donations and applications through December 22 to help Wellington and Collingsworth County families with food clothing and toys. Food from High Plains Food Bank Amarillo costs 10 cents per pound and donations are collected at Wellington State Bank. Community leaders and local groups support the drive with contributions from multiple residents and organizations. The article notes a presentation about honorary farmers and local chapter activities as well as a fact about the African baobab tree trunk being as wide as the tree is tall and pollination by bats with blossoms that open at moonlight.
