Salute to Veterans: Hospice of Texarkana ‘Care-A-Van’ Hitting the Streets

This Veterans Day, Hospice of Texarkana will again take to the streets with its annual “Care-A-Van" on Tuesday, November 11, 2025.

This annual event is a rolling tribute on wheels to the brave men and women who have served our great country. On November 11, Hospice of Texarkana volunteers, staff members, and community partners will visit senior and assisted living facilities throughout the area to thank and recognize local Veterans.

The "Care-A-Van" group will congregate from the Hospice of Texarkana’s office at 9 a.m. and then load up and depart at 9:30 a.m.

Hospice of Texarkana Care-A-Van Stops Include the Following:

• Reunion Plaza,
• Avir at Cowhorn Creek,
• Asher Point Independent Living,
• Cornerstone Retirement Community,
• Brookdale Assisted Living,
• The Oaks Assisted Living,
• The Magnolia Assisted Living
• McKee Assisted Living.

Each stop features live patriotic music, presentations of certificates, and personal American flags for every Veteran. In 2024, the Care-A-Van honored 110 Veterans, and organizers hope to surpass that number this year.

Community supporters joining this year include the Texarkana Police Department, Army Recruiters, Redwater Volunteer Fire Department, Ben’s Heart/22 a Day, Ashley’s Homecare and House Call, Texarkana Antique Cars, Cornerstone Caregiving, Texarkana Area Veterans Engagement Board, with patriotic music selections provided along the route by Hampton Fontenot.

“As a hospice organization, we have the privilege of serving Veterans every day,” said Cindy Marsh, Executive Director of Hospice of Texarkana.

“This event is our way of saying thank you—not just for their service, but for the lives they’ve touched right here in our community.”
