Our Partners

WOW has exclusively raised more $50,000 of that on our own.

And then there are our WOW STEALTH MISSIONS.....

WOW Stealth Missions are a large part of what we do on the down low. We accomplish these missions with funds we have raised, and often at times, by donation our own belongings. A Stealth Mission occurs when someone in the community reaches out to WOW for a very particular and/or urgent need.

We have paid security deposits or first month’s rent for women establishing a residence (many fleeing domestic abuse situations), we have provided gift cards to purchase clothing and home essentials, we have facilitated a local rest home with new sheets and blankets and stuffed animals and sanitary products and slippers and more. We have provided everything a family could ever need on a few occasions, from shower curtains to pots and pans and dog food. 

These Stealth Missions are just one of the many things that sets WOW apart from any other non-profit organization and we are so blessed to have the abilities and the resources to do what we do.
