SENIOR SANTA DELIVERIES - Each December, through donations, we deliver gifts to low-income older adults. Sometimes, our gifts are the only ones they receive at Christmas.

SENIOR SANTA
In keeping with the Christmas spirit, our Senior Santa program brought many smiles to our senior clients. Through donations from IBC Bank's Charitable Corporation and HEB, our volunteers delivered grocery gift cards and blankets. Our sincere thanks to these two corporations. And...a BIG thanks to our volunteers. Your compassion inspires us to continue our mission!
PENNIES FOR GRANDMA
From September through October we collected spare change by placing buckets at many of our partner offices to help us continue our mission. Thanks to all who participated...every little bit helps!
"NESA is a Godsend. You have provided me with more than excellent service in getting me to my doctors' appointments. The volunteer drivers are most courteous and patient, and they make good company during the trips...great conversations!" R.N.
"Without NESA, I don't know what I'd do. You've been a lifesaver for me in so many ways." G.L.
"I greatly admire your dedication and work to ease senior citizens' lives like myself." P. P.
"I know I owe you a lot. You have literally kept me alive." J.A.
"Your drivers have big smiles and good hearts." S.L.
"NESA drivers share my life with me. They are with me when it's cold, rainy, or if an appointment runs long. They are very patient. They open doors for you, and sit and chat to ease your mind. This type of care is hard to find because people are so busy with their own lives. I'm thankful for NESA." L.C.
"It's enabled me to have more freedom and a sense that I can still do things by myself with some help, and you've given me the help I need to do that." G.L.
