Help Area Senior Citizens with an End-of-Year Donation

It’s not too late to make a 2020 donation to Herndon Village Network, the local nonprofit that keeps area senior citizens connected with the community. Tax-deductible gifts to Herndon Village Network help non-driving seniors visit their doctors, pick up their prescriptions, buy groceries, and more! To make a donation, please visit https://herndonvillagenetwork.org/donate/.

Herndon Village Network (HVN) currently serves over 100 senior citizens, who pay a one-time $20 registration fee for unlimited access to day and evening transportation on weekdays and weekends. This more organized concept of neighbors helping neighbors encourages older residents to age in the Herndon community and allows them to maintain established routines and connections, which results in a higher quality of life.

• In 2019, HVN drivers provided senior citizens 908 rides, totalling 19,578 miles.

• In 2020, HVN continued its essential services through the pandemic, helping senior citizens stay healthy by providing them private transportation to accomplish “must do” errands. This year, HVN also offered to run these errands for senior citizens and to give them shelf-stable groceries every other month. To date, the nonprofit has delivered 171 large bags of food and other helpful items.

Thank you for anything you can do to help. To make a donation, please visit https://herndonvillagenetwork.org/donate/. To become a vetted volunteer driver, please visit https://herndonvillagenetwork.org/volunteer/.
