SFPA is hosting a special Thanksgiving charity drive and dinner for WINGS South Florida, a Miami non-profit community based program for at-risk adjudicated young women ages 14-19 who are pregnant or already mothers.

WINGS South Florida provides an opportunity for these girls to remain with their babies instead of being separated from them as they would be in a regular juvenile justice facility. WINGS South Florida is one of 57 programs in 8 states affiliated with AMIkids which is headquartered in Tampa, Florida. Their Personal Growth Model of service delivery combines education, treatment, behavior modification and experiential learning opportunities to provide a holistic, comprehensive approach to the needs of young women. These efforts have resulted in over 95% of program participants experiencing a successful transition back into their community.

The Thanksgiving dinner will be held on Friday, November 18, 2011 at 7:00 p.m. Please consider joining us for this special event, either in person (register here online) or through your contributions.
