Community of Caring
Vision: Bridging Barriers - Supporting clients' health and independence with community support to provide for non-medical needs.
As our nurses visit their clients (new mothers and babies, families and adults), they see a need for non-medical items which would support health, safety and child development.
MVNA has developed a process for connecting the community to those in need for direct delivery of essential, day-to-day necessities called Community Caring. With the support of the community (businesses, individuals and organizations), MVNA is able to provide assistance to our clients for basic needs and bridge a barrier during difficult times. For our families with children, donors have provided items such as diapers, grocery store certificates, children’s clothing and board books. For older adults, community donations have provided warm clothing, bedding and food.
Your gift will help people in very direct ways and make a dramatic difference in lives.
There are several ways for you to participate:
Collection Drives:
Hold a drive once or twice a year to collect items needed by our clients. Drives could focus on the collection of specific items:
- Items $10 or less that bridge barriers
- Nutrition (highchairs, booster seats, baby bottles)
- Mobility (Snuggies, umbrella strollers, bus cards)
- Safety (gates, portable cribs for safe sleeping, baby-proofing kits)
- Development (Learning toys, board books)

Send a Monetary Donation:
MVNA can purchase many needed items in bulk (such as baby cribs or highchairs for example), which are requested by our nurses for our clients. You can help MVNA save time and money by making a cash donation today.
