WINGS Volunteers and their Big Gift!


Volunteer Coordinator Beth Renee and WINGS Volunteer Patty

At WINGS, we simply could not do what we do without our volunteers. They answer the phone for the crisis line, and play tag with the kids while the moms are in class; they lick envelopes at the main office for invitations to our special events, and sort donations at the resale stores. Sometimes we teach them new skills they need for volunteering, and sometimes they come to us with their own professional skills that they use to teach us.

In an effort to give our volunteers the recognition that they deserve, we are attempting to begin to quantify their service they give to the WINGS Program. Independent Sector is a group that calculates the financial value of a volunteer hour, and based on our recorded volunteer hours for fiscal year 2009, our volunteers gave us service valued at
$942,232.50!

Though we are thrilled by this great accomplishment, we also realize that this only begins to represent what volunteers do for us. There countless of uncompensated hours that donors, board members, volunteers and staff give to us that are never recorded and sometimes never even seen. Also, there is no way to quantify the encouragement we receive from those fantastic people who come regularly to our office with a smile on their face and hands ready to help.

Thank you to all of you who work tirelessly to help give the women and children of the WINGS Program achieve their dreams!
