Wingard Home

So, let me pick your brains for a moment...I am in search of any volunteer opportunities or Summer employment for 5 teens who have moved in here at Wingard. Their Moms are looking for jobs as well. I know that there must be some summer programs in the city of Jackson so I need help searching.

Please send me a text message or post on the page so that I can plug them in ASAP...there is nothing worse than bored teens. There are two males (14 & 18) and three females (15, 15, & 17). Please help me find something for them.

Present needs at our ministry are:
laundry detergent
bleach
windex
toilet paper
kitchen trash bags (white)
brooms & mops
floor cleaner
new pillows
towels & face cloths
cleaning vinegar

ramen noodles
microwave popcorn
chips & salsa
kid snacks
pasta
pasta sauce

For the past couple of days, Mr. Raymond McKinion and Cleo's Asphalt Paving Co. has been at Wingard Home working some miracles on our ministry campus parking area and play area. We now have a safe, smooth parking area and a beautiful basketball court!
Y'all, I highly recommend these wonderful folks! They are hard-working, honest, professionals who take pride in a job well done! These men are like asphalt sculptors on those machines. It was amazing watching them create the perfect space for a basketball court and parking area for our folks at Wingard Home Ministry campus in inner-city Jackson. What an incredible blessing to know that people still care about quality work.

ISO Summer programs for children that don't cost a fortune! Case scenario from Wingard Home Ministry:
Mother of 3 just got her children back with her, enrolled them in school (with after school care) but she is making it happen (without vouchers... because they won't qualify her), she found a great job from 7-5 weekdays. Now, she may be forced to quit her job and find something else because the summer program she chose lets out at 4 and she gets off at 5.
THIS IS SO CRAZY! We have a woman who wants to work and take care of her children, we even gave her a car so she can be mobile.

Operation Shoestring won't return her calls, some of the programs would take her children ...and her whole check as well. She is still trying to get a daycare voucher, but nothing yet. She enrolled them in We Will Go Summer camps but they have to be picked up by 4 and she can't pick them up until 5:30!

Please, please help me find a summer program for these babies (all school age) that will go to 5:30 or 6:00 and will not take all her paycheck. I know she loves her job so I don't want her to have to quit. There has to be someone out there who can help us to help her until school starts back up. ...and will somebody please join me praying for the Department of Human Services Child Care System!

Y'all, my phone number is 601-906-1976. Call me anytime. 🙏

Y'all, we have several of our Wingard Home folks who have saved up a little money and are looking for decent running cash cars 🚗🛻. Please help us get them in transportation so they can continue on the good road to getting on their feet by driving to work. None of them can pay any more than 1,000 to 2,000 for transportation. Thank so much. Please text me or call me with information (601) 906-1976 Charlotte Wingard 🙏

We are so blessed this day to have met these fellow warriors in God's army. As we serve every day in the city of Jackson MS, God is going before us and making resources available to do his good work. God connected us to Hearts for the Homeless through "Devine" appointment... when I received a call today from Pastor Andre Devine asking if we might need some coffee. Now, we surely use a lot of coffee and always seem to be near out of it! Ground coffee was on our "needs list" in our Christmas brochure. God is so good, Y'all. We are honored to serve in this city with our fellow warriors here on the front lines daily preaching the gospel through modeling the actions and behavior of Jesus. Thank you and God bless you richly, Pastor Devine and Hearts for the Homeless Ministry!

We would like to shout out a big thank you to our wonderful Christmas friends…Dr. Randy Miley, Mr. Ray Gregory and all of the art department at Mississippi College. Every year they kick off Wingard Home’s Christmas season and festivities with a wonderful dinner, activities, entertainment, and gifts for the children and adults! Please enjoy the beautiful photos that we took of some of our folks at the Christmas festivities at Mississippi College BC Rogers dining hall.
