Tanya was a single mom cobbling together part-time jobs as she went through night school. As if that weren’t enough to juggle, she worked to lose more than 50 lbs at the same time.
“Life tosses you obstacles,” observes Cassandra, “and Wings for Success helps you get back up.” The women Cassandra met at Wings for Success continued to build her up even when her own sense of trust was low. Read More
Dominique, proud mom of four-year old Jasmine, went to one of Wings’ referral partners looking for support as she finished an intensive outpatient recovery program and started to look for a job.
Annmarie knew her share of challenges before coming to Wings for Success. A single mom, she faced a drastic reduction in hours at the retail store where she worked, which ultimately caused her to lose her home.
Nikki came to her Wings appointment in a bundle of nerves. A few weeks before, she left a brutal domestic situation with just her two young kids and the clothes on her back.
Thank you to everyone that chose to join us on Saturday, December 9th, 2018 for our first coach bus trip to NYC. The day was chilly with our first snow of the season to make the Big Apple holiday decorations look even more beautiful.
Our bus was filled with old and new friends ready for a day on their own in the city. Some shopped, others saw shows and all had a great time helping us celebrate our 20th Anniversary with this special trip.
A special thank you to all the attendees, sponsors and supporters who helped make our 8th annual Wings Fling a huge success! Held on October 5th at the Chester Valley Golf Club, the event featured delicious food, an amazing array of silent auction items, the ever-popular wine grab, and a moving personal story from our client speaker, Zoe. The energetic Andie Summers of 92.5 WXTU kept our evening moving while longtime Wings volunteers Gwen and David Murphy were honored for their years of service to our mission.
Thank you for making our first Wine with Wings wine tasting a success!
Our first fundraiser in the Kennett Square area was a sold-out event! What a wonderful statement about community spirit and interest in supporting Wings for Success and our clients! Nearly 150 people attended Wine with Wings, held at the Kennett Square Golf & Country Club on June 1. The wines, provided by Patone Cellars, were popular, the food was delicious, the country club setting was beautiful, and the silent auction was a sell-out!
Special thanks to our sponsors, auction donors, and the guests who attended.
Your participation and generosity make it possible for us to continue our mission to empower women in need to pursue employment and economic security.
