Dear Friend of VNAHG: Each year at this time, we reach out to our friends in support of our “Seasons of Hope” program for the children and families of the patients we serve. This program brings home the true meaning of the season and the mission of VNAHG, to care for those in need. We are always amazed and inspired by the benevolence of our volunteers, community partners, staff and generous supporters who bring hope and joy to our VNA families Attached are the profiles of families who are currently under our care and identified by our staff as in need of assistance to brighten their holiday. You can imagine the responses we see as we deliver your gifts – the excitement and surprise in the face of a small child, the tears of joy from a senior living alone, the sigh of relief from a parent knowing their family will not go without. As you look through these profiles, we hope that we can once again count on your generosity during this season of giving. If you wish to adopt any of the families from this list, please contact the “Seasons Of Hope” Adopt A Family Program at 732-936-2748 as soon as possible.

NURSE FAMILY PARTNERSHIP PROGRAM
The Nurse Family Partnership (NFP) program reaches out to assist low-income women in their homes during their first pregnancy and throughout the first two years of their children’s lives. Specially trained nurses provide support and health education to accomplish three goals: improve pregnancy outcomes, improve child health and development, and improve families’ economic self-sufficiency. The VNA works
collaboratively with the United Way of Central Jersey to offer NFP in Middlesex and Somerset Counties. The VNA also offers NFP in Monmouth and Ocean County.
