“Light Up a Life” provides remembrance of loved ones and hospice care in Dallas County

Donations to “Light Up a Life” help the Visiting Nurse Association provide hospice care to Dallas County patients and their families.

The holiday season is a time for remembering loved ones and the Visiting Nurse Association is exhibiting its eleventh annual “Light Up a Life” tree to honor the memory family members and friends.

A paper dove bearing the name of an honoree can be placed on the tree for a $20 donation to the Visiting Nurse Association.  Funds raised from “Light Up a Life” help the nonprofit organization provide hospice services to terminally ill patients and their families in Dallas County who lack resources for needed care.

The “Light Up a Life” tree will be on display weekdays through December 31 between 8 a.m. and 5 p.m. at the Visiting Nurse Association’s headquarters on 1440 W. Mockingbird Lane in Dallas.

Donations to “Light Up a Life” can be made by contacting Julie Feltner, hospice volunteer coordinator for the Visiting Nurse Association, at (214) 689-2672 or feltnerj@vantexas.org.
