who we are
Connect With a Wish is a Virginia Beach based, 501c3 nonprofit. We provide children in local foster care with resources and support to live well and grow. Since our beginnings in 2014, we have worked with our volunteers and partners to enhance the lives of kids and young adults in Virginia Beach foster care, and beyond.
We strive to achieve our mission through a growing list of programs and special events, and they all rely on the generosity of charitable people like you.

Winter '21
Gavin is our IT wizard here at our office. He is the man behind our website & fixes our printer, laptop, and Wi-Fi issues. Along with his tech expertise, he provides a strong helping hand by making multiple trips to and from our storage units. He even will put together furniture for us such as desks and will fix misc. repairs around the office! Thank you, Gavin, for your hard work to help make CWW better each day!

Maureen has volunteered with us for countless hours and is our own personal seamstress! She has been fixing the donated prom dresses that need assistance & will be here for our Prom Event this Saturday helping fix the girls' dresses. She has also been an angel in helping sort out clothes in our clothes closet (which if you know, can be messy!) She is an amazing person, supporter, and helper to Connect With a Wish.

Summer '21
Faye regularly stops by our office with great goodies/donations she has collected throughout our community, for kiddos in foster care. Her humor and bubbly personality always make the CWW team laugh and smile when she walks through our doors. She is one of the best people to be around, and her generosity and kindness definitely do NOT go unnoticed.

Terry has been a volunteer at CWW for years, and she has brought along with her many friends and even family. As our treasurer, she keeps CWW (and all of us) in order. Terry's strong work ethic and organizational prowess proves how much of an asset she is to CWW. We appreciate her volunteering immensely!
