Every year VNA delivers individually wrapped toiletry items to our Meals on Wheels clients on Christmas morning along with their hot, holiday meal. We are asking our volunteers, corporate and group partners to assist us in making this Christmas one to remember by adopting a senior! Here’s how you can help:
Adopt-a-Senior: You or your group can adopt a senior by putting together the number of gift bags you choose. VNA will provide the gift bags either decorated or undecorated for the artists out there! Each holiday gift bag includes the following essential items: (1) full-size tube of toothpaste; (1) adult toothbrush; (1) 15-ounce bottle of shampoo or lotion; (1) bar of soap; (1) washcloth; (1) pair of non-slip socks (unisex). You and/or your group will personally wrap each item in the comfort of your own home or place of business/or group meeting place and then place them in a holiday gift bag which VNA will provide. After the bags are completed, they can be dropped off at the VNA Meals on Wheels Haggerty Kitchen location (1440 W. Mockingbird Ln., Dallas, TX 75247) Monday Friday from 9 a.m. – 3:30 p.m no later than Friday, Dec. 14.

Thank you, McKesson, for Delivering More than a Meal
|
On September 25th, we had the pleasure of welcoming a team of volunteers from McKesson for their first meal delivery “Day of Caring.” As an internationally known company, McKesson is committed to making a difference in the communities they work, live in, and play. By volunteering with VNA Meals on Wheels, the McKesson volunteers were able to make a positive impact on the Dallas County community by delivering 133 meals to our senior neighbors in need saving VNA $246.05 which will allow us to extend 9 clients’ meals for an additional week.
A huge thank you again to the McKesson team for partnering with us and assisting us in providing a much-needed service to the senior neighbors we serve. We look forward to hosting your team again in the future!
If you and your group want to partner with VNA Meals on Wheels, please get in touch with our Community Engagement Coordinator Yakia McKinnie at yakia.mckinnie@vnatexas.org or 214-689-2464.
