With Laurie Todd’s vision and support from Cecily Getz, Kathy Smith Granahan, Beth Heft and Marianne Plucienik, a grass roots organization was formed to create a board of directors, solicit donated clothing and operating funds, find volunteers, and secure partnerships with local social service organizations and job training programs, and find a permanent location. During this time of formation, clothing was stored in the founders’ basements, and clients were served by our volunteers taking clothing to the various job-training locations in their own cars. Over the past several years, Wings opened a facility at our current location at 326 N. Walnut Street in West Chester, PA, and has established relationships with a number of large and small businesses that offer in-kind services benefiting the organization and our clients. A network of referral partners who send clients to Wings For Success has also been established. These include job training programs, shelters and a variety of social service agencies and private charitable organizations. We’ve come a long way in the past 10 years,...however, we need your help to continue growing.
