What We Do 

WINGS helps homeless and abused women and children by offering integrated services that meet their needs for shelter, education, guidance and support. We provide safe, secure living environments, through transitional housing and emergency shelter, in residential neighborhoods that allow women to go to school, work, and care for themselves and their children.  

WINGS is a 501(c)(3) non-operating foundation. 

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 8^th Annual Benefit Ride! We have many other events throughout the year including our annual Purple Tie Gala in September. 
Check out http://www.wingsprogram.com/events.htm for a current listing of upcoming events.

You can also support us by donating or shopping at our three resale store in Palatine, Niles, and Schaumburg.  The resale stores provide over 30% of the funding necessary for us to provide critical services to the women and children in our program.

As with any non-profit, we are always in need of volunteers.  WINGS volunteers are a critical component of our organization and provide assistance at events, in our resale stores, and in our administrative offices.
