VISTE Cares 2023 | Personal Care Boxes

Thanks to everyone who sponsored, donated, packed, and delivered personal care boxes to bring cheer and hope to local seniors in need! Volunteers delivered 400 care boxes to VISTE’s most financially vulnerable clients in June. We were touched by the many thank-you notes we received from clients, including the following:

“The personal care box was very nice – all good items! For those of us who are retirees on limited incomes, these boxes are a big blessing. Today was a day like Christmas! Another plus was that the volunteer who delivered mine was the daughter of a former pastor. Many thanks, with prayers.” - Alice

As we celebrate 40 years of service, you can help ensure that VISTE will be here for another 40 years, making a difference in the life of local seniors. Please consider making a gift of any amount, or a recurring donation. THANK YOU!

The need is great, but together we are greater than the need!

who has supported VISTE throughout the past 40 years.

It would be impossible to continue this good work without YOU!
