Card giving online is coming. Until then, every gift is taken personally: call 972-217-4572, or send a pledge below and Sheila will phone you within two days to arrange it. Checks are welcome too. Every gift gets a receipt with our tax ID.
A vehicle of our own ends the per-ride cost and doubles how many seniors we can reach. Ask Sheila where the fund stands today.
A permanent home means daily programs instead of monthly visits.
Put your business in front of a community that shows up
Sponsors cover a month of rides or a whole event, and get their name in front of hundreds of Lancaster and DeSoto families. Sheila sends a sponsor packet the same day you ask.

One full bingo morning or movie day, start to finish: room, meal, prizes and rides. Your logo at the event and photos you can post.

Send a busload of seniors to the Gaylord Texan for the day. Top billing at the Mother’s Day raffle and in every thank you.
