Meals on Wheels has started preparing for our upcoming HOLIDAY DELIVERIES!

On Thanksgiving and Christmas every year, our volunteers deliver hot meals to more than 4,800 Meals on Wheels clients throughout Dallas County. We are excited to report we have enough volunteers for our special Thanksgiving delivery, on Thursday, November 23rd!

We are still in need of 150 volunteers to deliver meals for our Christmas delivery, which will be on Friday, December 22, 2023 (Deadline to sign up: Friday, 12/15/23).

Our holiday deliveries pick-up times will be staggered so you can choose to pick up between 8:30 AM-9:30 AM or 9:30 AM-10:30 AM in the Community Partners of Dallas parking lot located at 7950 Elmbrook Drive, Dallas, TX 75247. Any route that is not picked up by 10:45AM will be reassigned to another volunteer.

If you can deliver some Christmas joy, please select a pick-up time registration link that works best for you:

In 2023, VNA served 269 seniors in the VNA Pet Care Program by delivering supplemental pet food for more than 480 of their pets! And that 9% of our Meals on Wheels clients were over the age of 90! Many of our vulnerable clients depend on the pet food VNA provides for their beloved furry companions.

VNA relies on donations from our Amazon Wish List each month to provide their food which is distributed through our monthly pet delivery. We currently have 163 cats in our pet care program and need 163 bags of dry cat food and 50 cases of wet cat food for our November pet food delivery.

If you’d like to help, head over to our Amazon Wishlist or use the QR code below to place an order. You can also drop off pet food at the VNA Meals on Wheels Haggerty Kitchen at 1440 W. Mockingbird Lane between 9am-4pm.

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

You can go to the Google Play Store or Apple App Store and download the newest version of the app. 

We are always happy to hear from you and are here to help make your volunteer experience better! Thank you so much for choosing VNA Meals on Wheels!
