Volunteers
Nan & Gary Zastrow
Founders of Wings-Established 1993
In Loving Memory of son, Chad Zastrow
Nan & Gary formed the non-profit organization in 1993 after the death of their son, Chad, and his fiancé, Jenny, ten weeks later. Both deaths were the result of suicide; and at the time, that was pretty much taboo. Wings began as a small magazine that shared stories, memories, poems and inspiration to others. Writing for the magazine helped heal our pain, too. This extraordinary organization has grown and spread hope across the United States, Canada and even to some foreign countries. Today it continues with support groups, an online eLetter, seminars, and education and training. Adjusting to the times, due to the pandemic their in-person programs were moved to virtual. The greatest strength of the non-profit is that the volunteers serve with a heart.

It all begins with an idea. Maybe you want to launch a business. Maybe you want to turn a hobby into something more. Or maybe you have a creative project to share with the world. Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference.
