Under His Wings holding Boston Butt fundraiser

ROBERTSDALE, Alabama -- Celebrate Independence Day this year by helping girls under the age of 19 in Baldwin County who are in crisis.

Under His Wings, a 6-month Christian residential treatment center in Robertsdale, will be selling Boston Butts to be picked up just in time for your Independence Day celebration.

Butts cost $30 each and must be ordered before June 28 for pick up from 4 to 6 p.m. July 3 at Coastal Surgery P.C., 1668 N. Pine St., in Foley.

Visit UnderHisWings.info for more information and to submit and order form. Order forms can also be mailed with a check, made out to Under His Wings Inc., to P.O. Box 91, Robertsdale, AL 36567.

Under His Wings was formed through the vision of Dr. Lorena “Nena” E. Hunt, an OB/GYN in Fairhope, and was nurtured independently by two other women, Cindy Marshall, a longtime patient of Hunt, and Tracey Cioncoli, a Daphne business owner who has served as a youth and children’s ministry director.

The five-bedroom, 5 ½  bath home located off of U.S. Highway 90 in Robertsdale, was built in the 1970s by the Mildorf family and was purchased more than a year ago by the organization for use as a temporary shelter for teenage girls.

The home also includes a small apartment occupied by Marshall and her husband, John, who will serve as group parents for the home. After working for more than a year on the renovations, the home opened recently and now houses three girls, said executive director Angie Michal.

Hundreds of donations have come in for the home, including much-needed money, furnishings and labor. In November, the group Impact100 awarded a $106,000 grant for the home. The home has also received a donation from the Snook Foundation, among others.

The facility will house up to 10 girls, two per room. The group is privately funded and, while it does receive donations from churches, is not affiliated with any church, Michal said. It also does not receive any government funding.
