Thanks from those you support: VCUM Appreciations
“Dear friends, Thank you for all you do, for the older people in our valley. It means more than you will ever know. I care for my 83 year-old husband with Alzheimer and I am busy. Your food really helps us. Have a wonderful Holiday Season” — a Grateful Senior
“Would like to say a big ‘Thank You’ for all your help in my time of need. After losing my job and my home, it was hard to ask for help. I have started my new job and God is opening new doors. Thank you for being there for me.”
“Thank you so very much for all the gifts. It was amazing that we seniors receive so much. It really helps our Christmas joy to feel that someone cares like that. We don’t just have to remember the old days and the departed ones. Our spirits are renewed through you.”
“Thank you so much for the Christmas gifts and gifts cards! The kindness and generosity of community is overwhelming! It will be an amazing Christmas!”
“I am 67, live alone, and very rarely receive any presents. How thoughtful of you to think of people like me and bring me such an unexpected lovely surprise.”
“As long as the spirit of Christmas remains, There will always be hope!”
