We recently took van loads of clients on a Fun Friday trip. They loved it! Here are the comments from a few of them.

"Thank you so much for planning this great outing for all of us." - Karen
Viola said, "Thank you. I had a MARVELOUS time!"
"I had a great time!"- Raymond.

THIS is why we have The Hole Enchilada...to help those who no longer drive have access to friends and their community.

Save the date for December 4 for this holiday tradition! Local community and church choirs come together to get us in the holiday mood. Don't miss this wonderful event!
CLIENT'S CORNER

VAN ROUTES UPDATE: Library Days are added to the van routes!

Library days are on the 2nd and 4th weeks coinciding with Walmart days. Remember, you can choose EITHER Walmart or the library, but not both. Confirm your choice with the office the week prior.

Folding walkers are allowed on the van to go to the library, but no rollators. For questions, contact Lindsay.
The Central Texas Food Bank, in partnership with the Austin Public Health Neighborhood Services Unit, Round Rock Area Serving Center, and Amazon, is launching a home delivery program. Participants must meet eligibility requirements.

Each month, participants will receive one shelf-stable food box per household. While the exact menu may vary, each box will weigh approximately 30 pounds and contain shelf-stable groceries such as oatmeal, pasta, masa corn flour, dried beans, canned protein, and canned fruits and vegetables.
