WINGS fundraising events create awareness as well as raise money to operate the programs and services that we provide. Annual fundraising events include the Fashion Show, Purple Tie Ball and other. Volunteers are needed to help on the planning committee with choosing the location or maping routes, making neccessary arrangments, planning decorations, designing promotional materials, soliciation of prizes or auction items, solicitation of sponsorships and help the day of the event. A long-term commitment is required for committe members. Event planning and fundraising experience is required.
Committee members usually met every two to three weeks several months before a scheduled event.Finally, individuals or groups who wish to coordinate fundraising activities outside of WINGS, such as a donation drive, raffle, or other benefit, can also contact us prior to planning and publicizing such an activity.

Mission Statement
The mission of WINGS is to provide a continuum of integrated services in an effort to end homelessness and domestic violence one family at a time.
Description
WINGS Program, Inc. was founded in 1985 and has grown to include 5 transitional homes and over 20 apartments scattered throughout Park Ridge, Des Plaines, Mount Prospect, Arlington Heights, Hoffman Estates, Schaumburg and Barrington. In addition to shelter, food and clothing, WINGS programs include counseling, life skills, vocational training, and educational programs for women and therapeutic programs for children and adolescents. Our program equips women with the support, training and resources to help them become self-sufficient and financially independent, and provides children with a restored sense of security and stability. A woman and her children can stay in our transitional program for up to 2 years. The need for our transitional housing program is great. There are usually at least between 5 and 10 families on our waiting list. WINGS has also responded to an unmet need in the north and northwest suburban area, by building and operating a 45 bed domestic violence Safe House. Previously, there had been no accessible shelters in which a woman and her children, who are fleeing a desperate situation, can go. Families who enter the Safe Hous will be provided short-term shelter, legal counseling, crisis counseling and other services to help them stabilize their situation.
