We wish to extend a sincere thank you to the Hillsborough County Board of County Commissioners and the Children's Board of Hillsborough County for funding our 2020 Grant.
Without your support these projects would not have been possible!
For this year's grant we were able to complete the the following projects:
*wheel chair ramp to the Civic Center making it easier to access for all
*a new neighborhood Little Free Lending Library
*the Wellswood Community mural located on the Western facing wall of the Civic Center
*diy birdhouse kits (cut and created by our own board members) for families to take and paint
We also wish to extend a very large thank you to the muralist Angela Cannata of Lodestar Studio
for her beautiful work on the mural and the peacock art on the Little Free Library.
And another large thank you to neighbor and WC rental agent Jose Lazo for his outstanding craftsmanship on our new library.

Wellswood derives its name from the Wells family who originally purchased the 640 acres on which the community sits. Founded as the first suburb of the City of Tampa after the World War II, Wellswood remains a middle-class neighborhood that strives to provide a family friendly atmosphere.
The Wellswood community center was deeded by James F. and Edna Wells-Wishart in 1949 and the first house was built in 1950. Wellswood was originally known as Wells Park but was renamed due to the abundance of pine and oak trees in the area.
The Wellswood Civic Center, as it is known today, is the heart of neighborhood activities and kept for posterity by the Wellswood Civic Association. The members of the Wellswood Civic Association continue to ensure our lovely home has a voice in the issues that affect us all.
The Wellswood Civic Center is available for private rentals. Please see the Rent the Civic Center page to learn more.
