“I love, love, love, LOOOOOOOOVE this place and even more, the fact that the WINGS program even exists! The ONLIEST reason I rate 4 stars instead of 5 is because they close so darn early, and I can't always get there on the weekends to shop. They used to be open until 6pm during the week, and IDK what happened to that. :(”

After watching so many of their videos on Youtube it was very fulfilling to finally enjoy the grounds, visit the library, and watch a presentation in the auditorium. I so enjoyed the kind people I met and the positive intent I found throughout this visit. I'll definitely be back!”
“I have been working with Amrit and Faith for roughly a month or two now and have only positive things to say about both! I worked with a therapist years ago and it was such a terrible experience that I never thought I would try it again. After getting to my lowest mental health point, I knew it was time to reach out for help and so I did but was very nervous due to my previous experience. Both Amrit and Faith have made me feel hopeful, heard, and treated me with nothing but kindness, respect, and care. I finally feel I am on track to my best self and I owe them so much credit. They are giving me the tools I need to get through this and to continue on a good path. The clinic was also understanding of my recent back surgery and was able to accommodate me with having tele visits with both! I would HIGHLY recommend them.”

“We adopted a lovely dog, Bear. The team at BF couldn’t have been nicer. They answered all our questions and made us comfortable. All the employees and volunteers were emotional saying goodbye but over the moon one of their dog received a forever home. It’s truly a unique and special place. I highly recommend getting a dog or cat there.”
