We’re deeply grateful to PORCH Communities Chicagoland North for becoming a monthly supporter of WINGS Pantry! They consistently “answer the call” with whatever our greatest needs are...and on a monthly basis! This generous donation of canned soups with meat and tomato products will make a real difference for survivors we serve. Thank you for nourishing our neighbors and standing with WINGS!

WLC Northshore’s annual FALL INTO FASHION luncheon fundraiser was a sold out hit at the chic Writers Theatre. Held on October 29, the fashion show raised $10,000 to support the North Shore Outreach Initiative- a new WINGS pilot program that will launch in the North Shore soon, providing support for domestic violence survivors. A huge thank you to WLC Northshore, the models and boutiques who provided beautiful fall fashions on the runway, and to the sponsors, attendees, and all who donated in-kind raffle items. Your generosity and love ❤️ were felt in the room! Photos by Denise Belyea.

We are incredibly grateful to Lynn and the phenomenal group of Allstate volunteers who dedicated their time to our WINGS Resale Store in Niles! Thanks to their hands-on help sorting donations and organizing merchandise, we received a generous $5,000 The Allstate Foundation Helping Hands Grant.

By helping our stores run efficiently, these volunteers ensure more resale proceeds go directly toward funding housing, advocacy, and life-saving services for survivors of domestic violence. Thank you, Allstate, for volunteering and truly changing lives!
