2024 Business of the Year: Wings of Life
Congratulations to our 2024 Business of the Year: Wings of Life. This special non-profit organization was recognized as the award recipient at our May Business Luncheon on Wednesday, May 1st. This is the first SWMCC Business of the Year to receive a $500.00 grant to help further their mission and vision. It is an honor for the Chamber to have the opportunity to recognize the outstanding individuals who have made the organization what it is today.
Moving forward, the SWMCC will nominate Wings of Life to move on to the State Level Small Business Awards. These awards are given through Alabama Chambers in partnership with the BCA. If chosen as a finalist, the selected business will have the opportunity to attend the awards ceremony in Birmingham, Alabama with Chamber Officials.
“We are a non-profit, Christ centered, life recovery center empowering individuals and families through spiritual development, education, and opportunity.
We empower people to break destructive life cycles including poverty, addiction, incarceration and family violence. We accomplish this through Christian discipleship, wholistic education, and community partnerships.
Our vision is to see individuals, families, and communities transformed for the glory of God.”



Recipient Testimonial
Being named Business of the Year by the SouthWest Mobile Chamber of Commerce is an incredible honor and we are truly grateful! It’s a testament to the hard work, dedication, and passion of our team. Being recognized by our community and those that believe in us means everything!
Wings of Life has been serving the people of Mobile for 34 years. For the last two years, we have been doing a “new” thing. We not only continue to serve men, women and married couples, but we also offer Christ centered holistic recovery and care to whole families struggling with addiction. We believe healing the whole family also keeps the community healthy.
Wings of Life loves the city of Mobile. As the first business of the year to receive a grant, we are not only honored to be recognized, but compelled to give back and contribute to the continued growth, prosperity, and health of our community. To be nominated with all of the other amazing businesses is humbling and motivating! Thank you SouthWest Mobile County Chamber for recognizing what we do!
