Thank you, WeWork, for delivering more than a meal!
|
We had the pleasure of welcoming two teams from WeWork for their first meal delivery “Day of Caring.” As a premier office space curator in Dallas, the team at WeWork is committed to making a difference in the communities they work, live, and play. By volunteering with us, the volunteers representing the WeWork team were able to make a positive impact on the Dallas County community by delivering 79 meals to our clients equal to a cost savings of $98.75. Thank you again to the team at WeWork for partnering with us, and we look forward to hosting your team again in the future!
If you and your group would like to partner with VNA Meals on Wheels, please contact our Community Engagement Coordinator Yakia McKinnie at yakia.mckinnie@vnatexas.org or 214-689-2464.

Two fun ways to support the Visiting Nurse Association this fall!

November 14th VNA’s 90th Birthday Bash Concert: We hope you’ll join us on Thursday, November 14th for a two-stepping good time to celebrate VNA’s 90 years of community service! Purchase concert suites, premium tables, and individual seats: www.vnatexas.org/concert
VNA’s Power of Pie: It is Power of Pie time here at VNA. Pumpkin and pecan pies are available for purchase for $25 each and pumpkin bread for $15 per loaf at www.powerofpie.org. These delicious fall treats are donated by some of North Texas’ top bakers and will be perfect for your Thanksgiving dinner. Pies and bread also make for a thoughtful gift for clients, employees, friends, family and teachers. Your purchases and donations will deliver food and friendship to homebound, senior neighbors and provide compassionate care to seriously ill patients.
We are excited to announce we have nine pick-up locations this year, including McKinney, Denton, Fort Worth and various Dallas locations. Pick up will be on Nov. 26th and 27th just in time for your Thanksgiving feast.
