With the population of Denton County surpassing 1 million, our citizens continue to age and we need support now more than ever. For the first time in 50 years we have started a waitlist for meals because of rising food costs, a rising population, and an increased need for local funding. In the last year alone we have served over 150,000 meals and included 100+ pets to the program while servicing the 7th largest county in Texas!
Together we can combat loneliness and hunger in the community, and support the pets that support our homebound seniors.
How To Make An Impact
(1) Monetary donations to support our Meals on Wheels and Senior paws program to avoid waitlists
(2) Donations of dog and cat food for distribution to our home-bound seniors who cannot afford to feed their pets
(3) Volunteering to deliver meals and participate in our events and programs
(4) Following us on social media and sharing what we do!
SPAN enables people to live as fully and independently as possible by providing nutrition, transportation and social services to older persons, persons with disabilities, veterans, and the general public. Our main program areas are Meals on Wheels (meals delivered to home-bound seniors), senior center meals and transportation for veterans, the elderly and disabled in Denton County. Our Senior Paws program provides pet food to homebound seniors who might not otherwise be able to feed their pets.
Federal funding alone can’t support all the seniors who need our services, and demand keeps increasing. Community donations are essential to fill the gap—helping us deliver meals and pet food to seniors and their beloved animals. Every gift makes a real difference in the lives of our neighbors.
It is the policy of Span Inc. that no person shall, on the grounds of race, religion, color, national origin, sex, age or disability be excluded from participation in, be denied the benefits of, or otherwise be subjected to discrimination under any Span programs or activities.
