Shawna's vision: crisis becomes community
Founded on the belief that every person in crisis deserves dignity, connection, and real support. FLOW-FALLING LOVE ONES WINGS started in Wilmington because our neighbors needed help now.
Crisis becomes community when we show up together
We believe everyone deserves food, shelter, and a voice. FLOW-FALLING LOVE ONES WINGS turns that belief into action across Wilmington—one meal, one safe space, one story at a time.

Real people turning crisis into community
Hear directly from the volunteers and team members who make FLOW's mission possible every day in Wilmington.
Working with FLOW at the food pantry showed me how much one person can do. We're not just handing out supplies, we're building relationships with people who need real support.
Marcus Johnson
Food pantry volunteer, Garfield Park
Being part of the mobile shelter team on the DART buses gave me a completely different perspective. We're reaching people where they are, and that matters so much more than I realized.
Elena Rodriguez
Mobile shelter coordinator
When I started recording stories for the Grief Unspoken podcast, I thought I was just helping with production. Instead, I found myself part of something healing. These conversations are breaking real silence in our community.
David Chen
Podcast production volunteer
I never thought I'd be part of building something as ambitious as the Hope Hub. Knowing we're creating micro-apartments and real housing solutions for people in crisis keeps me coming back every week.
Sarah Williams
Hope Hub project volunteer
What strikes me most is how Shawna built this organization on real relationships, not just programs. Everyone here knows why we're showing up, and that shared purpose changes everything about the work.
James Thompson
Volunteer coordinator
The food pantry in Garfield Park serves thousands, but what people don't see is the dignity in how it's done. That's what keeps me coming back, week after week, because it matters.
Patricia Martinez
Food pantry team member
