World Wide Wings Hosts EWRF Event to Benefit the St. Vincent de Paul Society

At least twice a year, World Wide Wings partners with the St. Vincent de Paul Society, and this year was no different. St. Vincent de Paul’s mission is to bring hope and help to those in need so they may find stability and move toward self-sufficiency.

World Wide Wings’ manager at the Sterling, Illinois, location, Jennifer Hovey, found out about the society through a local newspaper and gave them a call to discuss a partnership and fundraising opportunities through the EWRF program.

Earlier this year, World Wide Wings, owned by Wray Hutchinson, hosted an EWRF event for the St. Vincent de Paul Society and raised a total of $247.94 for the society. With an increase in sales of 46.8 percent and an increase in transactions of 38.1 percent, the fundraising event brought in 59 guests and afforded a sense of community.

The event was advertised through ads in the local paper, social media and through tickets and flyers placed throughout the community.

“During the month that we have an EWRF for St. Vincent de Paul, our team members collect food for their food pantry,” said Hovey. “We pick a different organization that needs help every month and collect the specific items that are needed. We love giving back!”
