What We Do 

For more than two decades WINGS has helped homeless and abused women and children with transitional and emergency shelter, along with integrated services, that meet their unique needs for housing, education, guidance and support. This individualized assistance allows women to set personal goals that will enable them to work, go to school, and care for themselves and their children.

WINGS is a 501(c)(3) publicly supported organization.

Who We Serve 

Our residents are women and children who are victims of domestic violence and need temporary safe shelter or who become homeless due to other extreme hardships and circumstances. Most of them come from the north and northwest suburbs of Chicago’s Cook and Lake Counties, the city of Chicago and surrounding areas.   

How You Can Help

There are a number of ways you can help us achieve our goal of ending homelessness one family at a time.  Start by registering or buying raffle tickets for WINGS 10^th Annual Benefit Ride! WINGS holds many diverse and exciting events throughout the year. Please check out http://www.wingsprogram.com/events.htm to find our listing of events.

Support us by donating or shopping at our fabulous Resale stores in Niles, Palatine, and Schaumburg. The stores provide us with over 30% of the funding we need to provide critical services to the women and children in our program. You won’t believe the tremendous bargains you can find at WINGS Resale Stores! Visit http://www.wingsprogram.com/resale.htm for more info.
