Who We Are
The Wallingford Wishing Well ("WWW") is a non-profit organization (registered with the state as a 501c) incorporated since 1990.
WWW is a charitable organization, which helps the needy, sick, or underprivileged children in the town of Wallingford (infant to age 18).
WWW members are people from all walks of life (doctors, lawyers, secretaries, students, mechanics, contractors, etc.) who donate their time, effort, and resources to the organization and to the children of Wallingford.
All WWW members are volunteers, there are no exceptions.
WWW children are referred to our organization through churches, schools, and other local organizations such as Big Brother/Big Sister, the Y.M.C.A., other outside organizations, and by word of mouth.
All WWW resources are obtained through services provided by its members and fund raisers. Many Wallingford businesses donate cash, services, and products.
WWW donates 100% of all proceeds to help needy, sick, and underprivileged children of Wallingford.
