Newly elected President Wells Lindsay retired after 40 years in aerospace manufacturing in December 2023 and, several months later, joined the Windsor Food and Fuel Bank’s Board of Directors. During his long career, he focused on sales, marketing and lean manufacturing. His volunteer experience includes serving as President of the Connecticut Manufacturing Association, and as a Board member of the Windsor Shad Derby and various youth sports and church organizations.

“As a young adult, I admired Harry Chapin’s storytelling music, and his drive to raise hunger awareness made a lasting impact on me,” explains Lindsay. “The singer and songwriter sponsored more than 100 concerts every year and he charged only donations of food for admission, rather than ticket fees. As a church youth leader, I helped to sponsor many food drives and, later, worked in my church’s local food bank.” Lindsay adds, “I look forward to directing my energy on the many important services of the Windsor Food and Fuel Bank and working with a committed group of volunteers, the Windsor Social Services staff, and our town’s community as we continue to support our Windsor neighbors in need.”
