What’s In Store
WINS has helped me get an amazing job and regain the belief that life will be better for me and my daughter. Thank you for believing in me and for giving me the opportunity to believe in myself.
This Christmas we needed help and you were there. Thanking you for painting smiles on my kids’ faces – you can’t imagine what a difference that makes to a mom.
WINS made me realize I don’t need to struggle to meet my basic needs and that there are people that care enough to help a small family get back on their feet. Thanks for helping us when we needed it the most.
Today, I have a full fridge, clothing for my children, and a little less stress. Knowing families can come out on the other side strong and kicking is really inspiring and helps me see the light at the end of the tunnel.
