Overview of the Program VNA Meals on Wheels provides hot, nutritious, freshly prepared meals five days a week to Dallas County residents who cannot obtain or prepare meals for themselves due to illness, advanced age or disability. These meals contribute to the overall health and well-being of participating seniors, including those with chronic illnesses and frail seniors who are homebound. How It Works VNA Meals on Wheels is funded by state agencies and private donations. Most of our clients do not pay for their meal service. If you would like to self-pay, it is $6.00 per meal. Our team delivers hot, nutritious meals Monday through Friday between 10:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. Please see details regarding holiday closures in the FAQ section. Who is Eligible?

Pet Care Program Pet ownership can be a tremendous benefit for the elderly, particularly for those who live alone. A pet can reduce stress, increase social interaction and alleviate feelings of loneliness. Still, pets require care, and some seniors need a little extra help to keep their animal companions happy and healthy. Thanks to fundraising efforts, we are now able to deliver supplemental pet food once a month on weekends to a growing number of VNA Meals on Wheels clients who have a pet. For more information about the Pet Care Program, contact our VNA Meals on Wheels Pet Care Coordinator, Miriah Leddy at volunteer@vnatexas.org or call 214-689-2233.
