Every day, vulnerable seniors in North Texas face the harsh reality of hunger and hardship. With your support, we can make a meaningful difference in their lives. We’re aiming to raise $250,000 to provide essential meals, expert care, and compassionate support to those in need. Your generosity can help ensure vulnerable neighbors don’t have to face these challenges alone.

In six short days, you’ve helped us raise more than $11,000! Let’s keep the momentum going! Join us in making a lasting impact—every contribution helps us get closer to our goal. Together, we can bring hope and nourishment to those who need it most.

VNA is working to remove barriers that many older adults, and others with limited access to healthcare, have in getting the seasonal flu vaccine.  Since 2020, VNA has provided in-home flu vaccines for our vulnerable VNA Meals on Wheels clients as well as partnering with multiple community groups to hold vaccine clinics. All told, we vaccinated more than 730 individuals in 2023 between our Meals on Wheels clients and community flu clinics (17 clinics with 11 partners). We are excited to kick off our 2024 flu vaccine initiative this month, with a goal of vaccinating 900 clients and community members.

Keeping our community healthy is important for all of us.  You can protect yourself, your loved ones and our community with regular vaccines, like the flu vaccine.  Learn more here.
