Volunteering Oportunities

Nonprofit Overview

Causes: Military & Veterans Organizations, Veterans

Mission: Luke’s Wings was founded in 2008 after learning that the government provides a limited number of flights for a family or loved ones to be bedside after a service member is injured. This is where Luke’s Wings steps in to fill the gap for the months and years ahead. Families are completely on their own to travel back and forth between their everyday lives and their new reality. Luke’s Wings provides complimentary airfare to wounded, ill, and injured service members, Veterans, first responders and their loved ones, keeping military families connected during recovery and rehabilitation. These flights bring mental, physical, emotional, and financial support, empowering wounded service members to overcome challenges they face every step of the way. While individual donations can be made directly through our website, www.lukeswings.org, Luke's Wings also encourages corporations to share in our thanks to our service men and women through corporate sponsorships.

This organization fosters an unhealthy and toxic work environment for it's staff. Donor money seems to be improperly used with the majority of it not going directly to the programs. It has a great mission but unfortunately is limited by its' hostile leadership practices and lack of support from the Board.

Luke's Wings has one of the most critical missions within the military nonprofit community. Our nations heroes deserve as much support as possible, most certainly throughout their recovery and rehabilitation.

A truly amazing and selfless team that works to re-unite wounded soldiers with their loved ones. I have never seen a more dedicated team.

I am a Registered Nurse and I work with Marines and Sailors who are Combat Casualties. I have called Luke's wings on several occasions on behalf of these Veterans and their families and Luke's Wings has been able to assist each and every time in getting them where they needed to go! Whether to visit their combat brothers and or family or even to go to medical evaluations! This is a top notch organization, where you can see what your donation dollars are doing.

Unfortunately, Luke's Wings exists primarily to facilitate the founder's colossal ego. He uses the organization as an excuse to parade himself around the "charity" social scene. The central purpose of these events are for the founder to present himself front and center and pat himself on the back. The wounded warriors in wheelchairs become an accessory for photo ops... and your donations to this group will only provide more support for his narcissistic agenda.
