Turning a House into a Home On behalf of WestCare California and Wings Advocacy Fresno, a Project of WestCare California, we are genuinely excited to extend an invitation for you to become a sponsor of our upcoming annual Spirit Gala, happening on Saturday, October 3rd, 2026.

This event is more than just a celebration; it is a critical opportunity to raise funds for individuals and families on their journey toward stability and selfsufficiency. Your support will be the cornerstone for the mission of Wings Advocacy Fresno, providing crucial resources for housing, furniture, and comprehensive support services. For us, every individual deserves a place to call home, and your partnership makes this vision a reality.

WestCare California has a legacy spanning more than 50 years of "Uplifting the Human Spirit," delivering a wide spectrum of trauma-informed, personcentered care, including housing opportunities, mental health care, and dedicated Veterans’ support. Wings Advocacy Fresno has been committed since 2013 to supporting the chronically homeless, Veterans, and survivors of domestic violence, and since joining the WestCare family in 2023, we are positioned to expand our reach like never before.

Crucially, this year we are thrilled to not only fundraise but also to recognize local heroes through the Spirit Community Awards. This event serves as the platform where we honor those whose actions—in areas like Community Impact, Resilience and Recovery, and Veterans’ Valor—embody the very spirit of service we champion.

As a valued sponsor, your involvement directly supports the success and expansion of Wings Advocacy Fresno’s life-changing work while prominently associating your brand with both life-saving resources and community excellence.

We would be deeply honored to have you as a partner in this important cause. Your sponsorship will make a profound and lasting difference in the lives of those who need it most. Please review the attached sponsorship package for complete details on the levels of support and the tangible benefits available to our valued sponsors.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to create a lasting impact. We eagerly look forward to your partnership.

Our Beneficiary Founded in 2013 by a group of passionate volunteers, Wings Advocacy Fresno began as a grassroots effort to bring dignity to those transitioning out of homelessness by providing essential furnishings. In 2023, Wings joined the WestCare California family, expanding its impact across Fresno and Clovis. Today, we proudly partner with local agencies—like the Fresno Madera Continuum of Care—to help newly housed individuals and families settle into homes with the comfort they deserve.

What We Do

We furnish homes with gently-used, donated furniture and household items, helping transform empty spaces into dignified, livable homes. Each client receives one-time, comprehensive support to get started on a new chapter.
