Working on Thanksgiving plans? Check pies and pumpkin bread off of your to-do list by purchasing your pumpkin and pecan pies and pumpkin bread TODAY and support North Texas seniors.

With 100% of the proceeds benefitting VNA, this grassroots event has raised more than $500,000 since its inception. Power of Pie was born of the idea that pie is a truly special thing—it stands out amongst practically all other foods as a symbol of comfort, home, and family, especially during Thanksgiving. Your purchase of pies and bread feeds more than folks at your Thanksgiving table. It provides food, friendship, and comforting care to homebound and seriously ill neighbors.

Thank you to our generous sponsors: The Adolphus Hotel, Brook Hollow Golf Club, Central Market, CTI Foods, Doubletree Hotel-Campbell Center, Empire Baking Co., Café Momentum, Haute Sweets Patisserie, Knife, Trio Community Meals, Uncle Willie’s Pies and Ventura Foods!

Order your pies and bread by Friday, November 18th! Pick up on November 22nd and 23rd at six convenient pickup locations.

Volunteer elves have been hard at work all summer preparing for our Holiday Adopt a Senior event! Each of our 4,500 Meals on Wheels clients will receive a holiday gift filled with wrapped toiletry items including shampoo, toothpaste, a toothbrush, soap, a washcloth, and socks. The gifts will be delivered on Christmas morning along with their hot holiday meal.  

While we need donations of all the items, we are in particular need of full-size bottles of shampoo. Can you help? We need 3,000 bottles of shampoo to fill our gift bags. If you would like to order these items on Amazon, visit our Amazon Wishlist.

The VNA Meals on Wheels office will be closed.  Our clients have received a shelf-stable meal to eat on this day.
