Great, Great company. Our mottos seem to be Never Give Up and Go the Extra Mile. High standards and a supportive work atmosphere. Always willing to change to better support the people we are in business for. I'm proud to be on staff.

Wingspan Life Resources is an amazing organization with wonderful staff that is 100% dedicated to the lives of its clients. They understand so many of the individual needs of each one and they know the greater issues facing individuals who require such care including health, finances, social interaction, well being and more. I have been very impressed by the personal contact everyone receives from staff, volunteers and the executive staff. It is truly a nurturing community and if one had a loved one facing these challenges, they could only hope there would be a Wingspan Life Resources there for them.

I have been a friend of Wingspan Life Resources since I moved to Minnesota over 20 years ago. In all fairness, part of my involvement stems from the fact that I am married to Wingspan's Executive Director. But that fact is only a part of the story. For many years I have been a board member of another nonprofit, but don't feel compelled to give that organization a 5 Star review. So what is it about Wingspan that compels me to write? Stated as briefly as possible, it is the care and love given to the residents/participants in Wingspans programs that moves me. Unlike some nonprofits, Wingspan exist to serve. Period. The Wingspan professionals, many of whom I have known since we were all much younger, are the most devoted group of caregivers I have ever had the good fortune to know. Persons with developmental disabilities are too often treated callously by the world around them, and in this era of cuts to social services, I fear things will get worse before they get better. Thank God for the dedicated professionals at Wingspan Life Resources. Wingspan is truly a GREAT nonprofit.

I have been blessed in my life to be around such an outstanding organization. As a child I was amazed by the works the company did to help people grow and reach dreams. As an adult I am honored to say that I am a staff for a company that is dedicated to helping individuals reach their goals and dreams! The care and dedication I have witnessed while working here is amazing!

My intial connection to Wingspan began several years ago that eventually led me to becoming a board member. I can only say it is a privilege to serve on the board and do what I can to support the creative efforts Wingspan puts forth to insure a high level of quality care is provided to our consumers . I am grateful to have been touched by this organization and experience the love, devotion and commitment Wingspan staff has for their consumers.

I have been fortunate to be a part of Wingspan as a family member of resident of Wingspan along with board member of Wingspan for a few years now. My sister Kathy has been had incredible care and amazing experiences for over 15 yrs as a Wingspan resident. We've seen first hand the daily commitment of the care givers Wingspan has always provided for her. As a board member the last several years, I have also seen first hand the outstanding leadership and commitment from the Wingspan management team from the top down. This truly is a one of a kind non-profit who not only does their work with great professionalism but also the care and commitment rarely seen in their field.
The Great!

I have worked for Wingspan Life Resources for 10 yrs now. It is the best company I have ever had the opportunity to work for. The employees ensure the best quality of care for all the residents. Wingspan shows an incredible amount of love and respect for their staff and residents. The residents are happy and all of their needs and wants are met in a timely fashion. This is the 2nd year in a row that Wingspan won a reward for being one of the top 100 employers and it's all because of our wonderful, caring staff and I'm very proud of them!

Wingspan Life Resources is the most dedicated organization I have every had the opportunity of relating to. They serve the most vulnerable adults in our communities with dignity, perseverance and respect. And, the best part is that everyone seems to have fun doing it as well as the people we serve seem to be very happy with who they are and where they are living. WLR brings critical care to these people and serves them as individuals with individual interests and desires. Kudos to WLR!

I am a relatively new board member of Wingspan Life Resources and I also have a cousin Mary who is a resident in one of Wingspan's 24 group homes in Minneapolis and St. Paul. I am very impressed with the leadership and the dedication of the entire staff. Their goal is to see that each and every resident not only lives in a healthy and safe enviroment but also that each one thrives. I recently attended the annual Magnolia Ball that Wingspan holds for the more than 100 residents. It was held at a downtown hotel and each of the residents was dressed up in a gown or tux and was having the time of their life. Each participated to the best of their ability on and off the dance floor and I could tell this is a highly anticpated evening out for each of them. I later went home thinking how lucky I am to have become a board member of this organization that has done so much for my cousin Mary and for all of the residents that are served by Wingspan. Two Thumbs Up !!!

I have attended and participated in several fundraising events and met many of the staff, board members and some of the people served. This organiaation truly cares about its consumers, they really live their mission. It's wonderful to see so many people have their needs met in such a caring way.
