For more than 2,000 homebound frail, elderly, sick and disabled individuals living in Dallas County, Christmas day won't be much different than the rest of the year. They'll be spending it alone except for a visit by a volunteer driver delivering Meals on Wheels, a gift bag and wishes for a Merry Christmas.
Volunteer drivers are needed to deliver Christmas Meals on Wheels for the Visiting Nurse Association in Dallas County. Drivers will pick up meals and gift bags between 8:30 and 9:30 a.m. Monday, Dec. 25, at 1440 W. Mockingbird Lane in Dallas. The average number of meals on a delivery route is 14.
Spending a few hours Christmas morning delivering Meals on Wheels and gifts will bring a little bit of cheer to many homebound seniors.
For more information about volunteering, contact Betsy Cox at 214-689-2210 or coxbe@vnatexas.org.
