Why give to the VNA?

You can help us provide home healthcare to those recovering from injury or surgery, and those living with chronic illnesses. You can help us provide hospice care for patients and families facing life’s end. And you can help us comfort spouses, children, and families who have lost loved ones.

When you donate to the VNA, you don’t have to wonder if your gift will make a difference. Your support matters every day to the thousands of people who rely on the VNA for exceptional home health, hospice, and community wellness services. And the people who benefit from your donation aren’t strangers—they are your friends, your neighbors, your coworkers, perhaps even your own family. Below are some of the most common ways you can support the VNA, often while realizing tax benefits. No matter how – or how much – you give, your generosity will benefit all our patients in need, regardless of their financial resources.

ANNUAL FUND

Indian River County annual gifts strengthen the VNA and we rely on donor generosity so that we can provide healthcare to the most vulnerable and less fortunate in our community.

GARDEN TRIBUTE PLAQUE

Honor the memory of your loved one by memorializing them with an engraved granite plaque to be displayed in the VNA Hospice House tribute area, A Place for Remembering.

This is a special way to say thank you and celebrate a caregiver who cared for you or your family member when you needed it most.

PATIENT WISH LIST

The VNA & Hospice Foundation seeks contributions to support ongoing patient needs of necessary amenities and equipment.

VEHICLE DONATION PROGRAM

Have an old car taking up space in your driveway? Donate it to VNA! Donating a car is easy! And so is donating other vehicles. We accept all types of vehicles nationwide — cars, trucks, SUVs, motorcycles, ATVs, and even boats.

MEMORIALS AND HONORARIUMS

One of the most meaningful ways to acknowledge the passing of a loved one is by offering a gift as a tribute to a life lived. Often, individuals choose to make gifts in memory of their loved ones on birthdays or special occasions.

MONTHLY GIVING

When you choose to become a VNA Sustaining Champion you are ensuring everyone in our community receives the high-quality home health and hospice care they deserve and desperately need.

PLANNED GIVING
