A Brief History of The Eagles Wings Foundation...
Hurricane Floyd marked the inception of The Eagles Wings Foundation, in 1999. Seeing that donations were not reaching survivors, that volunteer efforts were chaotic, and military relief was not coordinated with private relief, Scott Lewis founded The Eagles Wings Foundation to fill the leadership gap, and provide a safe place for private donations. Scott was appointed by the Prime Minister of the Bahamas to the position of Incident Commander for the Abaco Relief Command, and the first Eagles Wings leadership team was formed.

The Eagles Wings Pathfinders Task Force receives letter of commendation for their work at Haitian Hospital
From the Office of Director at Universite d' etat D' Haiti Hospital - I want to take this opportunity to extend my most sincere appreciation to The Eagles Wings Foundation, under the leadership of Scott Lewis, for being instrumental in restoring to working condition the main emergency room building at our hospital following the earthquake of January 2010...
All donations will help us with the mission described above. When we have to hire people we are trying to hire locals. They are in desperate need of jobs, food and water. Donations can be made via our website or checks can be mailed to "The Eagles Wings Foundation" and mailed to 375 Possum Pass, West Palm Beach, FL 33413.
Donations offset the real costs of delivering a skilled team of lead volunteers to disaster areas. God has opened doors to allow the Eagles' Wings team to reach the hardest hit areas by prestaging a rapid integrated response team.

The Eagles Wings Foundation - Who We Are and What We Do
"Helping to deliver a devastated area from the emergency room to the recovery ward"
The Eagles Wings Foundation, Inc., is a multi faith-based, 501(c)(3), not-for-profit, public foundation set up for aiding disaster survivors in the United States and the Caribbean region. The Board of Directors is comprised of devout people of many faiths dedicated to ensuring that all donations are used solely for the purpose of meeting the needs of disaster survivors. Eagles Wings has no paid staff or overhead. Office space is donated, and all work is done by volunteers ensuring that all donations have the greatest impact on the people we serve. After 10 years of working with many charitable groups, Eagles Wings now is a support agency with Volunteer Florida and a member of Florida VOAD (Volunteer Organizations Active in Disasters). Eagles Wings works under the State of Florida’s ESF-15 Officer as part of the State Emergency Response Team (SERT) Pathfinder EMAC Force package.
After every disaster, there is a tremendous need for someone to coordinate the activities of the unaffiliated volunteers and charities that wish to help, so that the rescuers do not become a burden to the disaster survivors. Eagles Wings' "Pathfinders" fill this gap with its own supporting Volunteer Management Team (VMT) which includes a Pathfinder Commander, Operations, Planning, Logistics, and Finance Section Chiefs, a medical officer, an IT specialist, a supply depot unit leader, and a military liaison officer.

Team members have disaster management, law enforcement, fire-rescue, and military command experience (see a first of its kind National Response Framework of this unprecedented disaster response resource focused on homebound survivors). A unique GPS mapping software (patent pending) precisely tracks the unmet needs of survivors, and separates this unit from any other unit currently in service.
