The application period will close on Friday, September 23, 2022.  The application link below will also be on the VNA Meals on Wheels Teen Board web page until that date.

Beginning in August the SPCA of Texas joined our list of community partners.  VNA Meals on Wheels pets, who are not spayed or neutered, will now receive this service at no cost to the clients as the City of Dallas has a mandatory spay/neuter requirement.  In addition, unaltered pets are more likely to succumb to cancer and exhibit unwanted behaviors.  Dallas Animal Services will be transporting these pets to the SPCA’s Mary Spencer Clinic for their surgeries.  Our community partnerships are vital to the success of our VNA Meals on Wheels Pet Care Program. Welcome to the VNA family, SPCA of Texas!

Grab a family member, colleague or friend and sign up to deliver meals today to homebound seniors in Dallas County! Our high-need delivery areas where we have a shortage of volunteers are Grand Prairie, Irving, Mesquite, Richardson, and West Dallas. If you have availability, please consider signing up today for a recurring route or a one-time delivery that meets your needs in the volunteer portal https://volunteer.vnatexas.org/landing.

If you would like a member of our volunteer team to come out to speak to your group about volunteering to deliver meals, please contact us and we will work with you to schedule a volunteer interest session to share more information about volunteering and all services offered by VNA.
