We care about our clients and the community surrounding the unique space we occupy in the world — so we devote a little time each month to serving those who share it with us. Whether we’re extending a hand to give back to our community, or implementing environmentally friendly policies to improve the world, we strive to put others before ourselves in all we do.

March, 2012 — “Brown Bag” for VNA Meals on Wheels
On March 6th folks at the idGROUP participated in the second annual “Brown Bag” for VNA Meals on Wheels Day by bringing a sack lunch and donating their dining-out money towards providing nutrious meals for senior citizens. We raised $160 in one day! That’s enough to feed one senior citizen for more than six weeks.
The Visiting Nurse Association’s Meals on Wheels program provides a nutritious, freshly prepared, hot meal to Dallas County residents who are unable to provide or prepare their own meals due to illness, advanced age, or disability. These meals are prepared in VNA’s Beatrice M. Haggerty Kitchen and nearly 4,000 volunteers then deliver the meals to the homes of Meals on Wheels clients, along with kind words and a caring spirit. Over one million meals every year are delivered to seniors who are homebound or dining at senior centers in Dallas County.
December, 2011 — Salvation Army Angel Tree
For the fourth year we helped make the holidays a little brighter for the less fortunate in our community by participating in The Salvation Army’s 2011 Angel Tree program. More than 16,000 families across the Dallas/Fort Worth area had their Christmas wishes fulfilled. Thanks to all of our clients, sales reps and staff who helped make it possible. It was a blessed Christmas.
William Booth once said, “The Salvation Army is a place of hope. When every other light is extinguished, and every other star has gone down, this one gleam shines steadily and clearly out in the darkened sky.” We plan to continue to support the Salvation Army every holiday season.
