Honoring Bobbi Arnold!!!

This May, our own Barbara “Bobbi” Arnold, was awarded induction into the ADRC Broward Senior Hall of Fame as one of 10 seniors in our community who were recognized for their dedication to volunteering in Broward County.

The ADRC recognizes Broward residents, age 60 and older, who have dedicated more than five years volunteering their precious time in the county. This year's honorees joined the ranks of the past 422 electees at the 36th Annual Dr. Nan S. Hutchison Broward Senior Hall of Fame Breakfast, which took place today, Friday, May 10, 2019.

Nominated for her 20 years of work with Meals on Wheels & Meals on Wheels for Companion Animals, Bobbi has brought care to hundreds of pets in So. Florida. At VCA Hollywood, we know firsthand the impact Bobbi has had on helping people. Not only, by the compassionate service she provides to our clients as Client Care Coordinator but by the simple existence of our relationship with Meals on Wheels for Pets. 

In 2012, to celebrate our 70th anniversary, Hollywood AH looked for ways to give back to our community. Bobbi, then a Hollywood AH client, introduced us to Meals on Wheels for Pets and our Pet Food Drive was born. Now 7 years later, our annual drive has grown to include local Veterinarians, VCA’s supply partners, local businesses and civic organizations to collect over 18,000 lbs of food and thousands of dollars to provide for these pets of homebound seniors in our county.

Bobbi’s impact on our community is profound and we are very proud and grateful for her.

Please join us in congratulating Bobbi.
