About The Foundation
The Wings of Hope Foundation began in December 2003. It was started
by Diane Robinson and her husband Cordell. On this cold day in December
they decided to take blankets, coats, gloves and food into a homeless
camp located near downtown Columbus Ohio. They were greeted by grateful
people and very quickly gave away everything. Unfortunately they had not
brought enough supplies to meet the needs of everyone in the camp. The
following weekend they returned armed with additional supplies. Through the
winter of 2003 this small group pooled their resources and those of willing
friends and family to help this community of homeless survive. They even
resorted to selling off some of their own personal possession to finance their
efforts.
Before long they realized that the need was far greater than they could finance
on their own. They began to dream of ways to reach more people in even
greater ways. The dream is to provide far more than just temporary help. The
dream expanded to finding shelter and a way to help down trodden family's
find their way back into mainstream society. They dreamed of owning a
shelter house where the homeless could find safety as they rebuild their lives
