Dear Friend of VNA,

Visiting Nurse Association (VNA) is celebrating its 25th annual Art & Soup event on Sunday, March 27, 2022 at Omaha Design Center. Community members can purchase an exciting mix of art genres and eat unique soups prepared by some of Omaha and Council Bluffs’ best chefs as well as bid on auction items. Art & Soup has a single important purpose: raising money to assure there are VNA nurses in every local homeless and domestic violence shelter. VNA is the primary public health nursing provider in Omaha metro shelters and the vulnerable adults and children experiencing homelessness and domestic violence depend on VNA nurses for critical care and education. 

VNA’s Shelter Nursing program is 100% community funded, and we are inviting you to make an impact on the lives of those living on the streets or in our local shelters by donating an item(s) to be auctioned at our event or by making a monetary donation. This year, VNA’s goal is to raise $200,000 during Art & Soup to meet the health needs of approximately 1,600 of the most at-risk individuals in our community. Art & Soup’s online platform will showcase artwork with 50% of artist’s sales donated to the program. Those purchasing tickets will be able to bid on silent auction items and experiences to support the cause. In appreciation, we will promote your business or organization in our program, at the event, and on our virtual platform.  

To make a donation, please fill out the enclosed procurement form and return it with your donation to the address below. We hope to receive all donations by Friday, March 4, 2022. Please contact me at (402) 850-9007 or danag.reomaha@gmail.com with questions, delivery or pick-up arrangements. To find out more about the event, please visit vnatoday.org/artandsoup. 

Thank you for consideration of our request and helping secure accessible healthcare for all!

Sincerely,
Dana Gonzales
