Targets citizens over 55 and encourages them to stay active by volunteering their time to local agencies that are in dire need of assistance. RSVP also serves as a resource to the local non-profits, government agencies, and health care proprietors that are registered as stations. These stations, with assistance from our RSVP volunteers, meet critical community needs.
Allows children who would otherwise be unable to purchase gifts for their family members the opportunity to select a gift free of charge for everyone who lives in their household.
