Programs: Wishing Wings Boutique is free for youth in kinship placement or foster care within Boone County and surrounding counties. The emphasis of the boutique is on teenagers and their needs. Wishing Wings Boutique has sizes ranging from child 5 to adult with teens in mind. Along with clothing, there are bedroom decorating options, new makeup and skincare products, shoes, jewelry, purses, bookbags, and so much more. Youth in the foster system do not have much control and the goal of the boutique is to give them some of that control back with shopping. We also offer Grant a Wish program, foster families may not always be able to provide the “extras” for the youth in their care due to financial constraints. A wish could grant a school yearbook, prom ticket/attire, senior class ring, registration for camp, or an opportunity to participate in sports or music. Granting a wish helps provide opportunities and talents by developing self-esteem.
