Wings is proud to share with you the next installment in our client success story series:

Since the death of her husband two years ago, Ginny has been working to get her life back on track. Her husband had been the primary breadwinner in the family and Ginny’s work experience was limited to a part-time retail position at a local Home Depot. Working part-time offered her the flexibility to take care of her daughter. But now as the sole income earner in the family, Ginny knew it was time to embark on something different.

Through the New Choices program at Delaware County Community College, Ginny came to learn of Wings for Success. She made an appointment to visit Wings along with her friend and her sister. She remembers the experience well. “They had three dressers come in,” she said. “I’m kind of conservative and they hooked me up with stylish outfits including jewelry, purses and even shoes.”

Ginny is looking into finishing a certificate program at her community college. With her daughter slowly gaining her independence, Ginny looks forward to the day when she lands an interview and can take her career to the next level. “If I get an interview,” she says, “I know I’ll have a really nice outfit to wear.”

Professional transformations aren’t limited solely to our clients! Our website recently underwent a dramatic makeover, as well. Visitors to the new Wings website will notice an updated layout as well as new features including client stories, a detailed overview of our clothing program, workshops, and employment resources, and a list of available volunteer opportunities.

If you’ve noticed the improvements to our social media posts recently, the credit goes to two second-generation Wings volunteers. Jacqui Fabrizio (pictured above, left/top) and Rachel Ammon (pictured above, right/bottom) have officially joined their mothers in serving Wings as volunteers. Both women have been sharing their talents with us for a few years—Jacqui, by contributing fashion tips for our quarterly newsletters and social media posts and Rachel, by providing support at several of our events.

Both women decided to volunteer for Wings because they are passionate about our mission. According to Jacqui: “I feel strongly about the importance and impact we can have in other women's lives by encouraging them, helping them and providing an avenue in which they can excel, exceed and live their best lives.” As someone who works for Ralph Lauren Corporation and is an avid follower of fashion and style, Jacqui is well qualified to share her style savvy with Wings audiences.

Rachel, too, feels inspired to help women. She began volunteering for Wings in 2012 shortly after graduating from college with a marketing degree, and continues to help Wings while serving as a marketing specialist for Visit Myrtle Beach in South Carolina. “I wanted to find something to give back to my community, and help other women,” Rachel says. “There are unique challenges women face in their careers and finding economic stability, so Wings was a good outlet to give back.” 

Wings is grateful to have inspired a new generation of talented and dedicated volunteers!

In a recent letter to Wings for Success, one of our supporters had the following kind words to share with us:

"It is notable that Wings for Success maintains the quality programs that are essential to your clients. It is also terrific that so many volunteers give of their time and talent to help these women pursue employment and economic security. We wish you continued success in the important role you are playing in the lives of your clients and your community." 

“My prayer is that this business will expand to continue to put smiles on the faces of many who need help. Your generosity is appreciated. Thank you!”
