VMA Presents New Trial Service: Angels on Call

The VMA is proud to coordinate neighbors helping neighbors. Angels on Call will now drop off a meal for a Villager who just returned from the hospital, who had an accident, or who had a sudden medical issue. If you can’t shop or cook and need help quickly, Angels on Call can help.

These are “in a pinch” emergency, microwavable meals. (For more consistent help, please contact Meals on Wheels.) Meals are homemade, cooked in advance, frozen, and ready to be thawed and delivered. There is no charge for meals.

To request a meal from one of our volunteer angels, please call the VMA office at 408-238-4230. The office is open Monday-Thursday from 9:30am – 2:30pm. A volunteer angel will return your call and ask for all the details.


300th Golf Cart Donated to VMA

The VMA gratefully accepts old golf carts donated by generous Villagers. We sell a few nice carts to fellow Villagers, but donated carts needing extensive repairs and are sold to buyers outside the Villages.

Noel Lanctot and Gary Walden have been accepting and selling donated golf carts for 12 years now, to help fund crucial VMA activities. Noel and Gary happily posed for a picture of our 300th golf cart donation, but donations continue to roll in. In September alone, these two earned $3,000 for the VMA by selling old carts. Thank you to our fabulous volunteers and generous donors!

Look what’s happening…
