Ages: Birth - 12 Years

Angel’s Wings is an emergency respite program for abused and neglected children ages birth to 12 years who are referred by the state Division of Youth & Family Services.  The program has two primary components: a community home where the children stay, and parent support services for natural and foster families.  The program’s community home is run by live-in parents who provide 24 hour care for the children. Staff and volunteers also help care for the children and provide safe supervision, educational activities, and recreation.  Angel’s Wings can house up to five children at a time.  Children generally live in the home 30 days until permanent homes can be found in the community or they can be reunited with their natural families.  The Parent Support Coordinator provides services to foster and natural families to ensure that the children live in stable homes and parents get the assistance they need to successfully care for the children.  Services may include in-home counseling, crisis intervention services, teaching home skills, parent support groups, or life skills training for children.  Angel’s Wings also trains and supports volunteers to encourage them to become foster parents.
