Our Retired
& Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP)
coordinates volunteerism in Dorchester, Somerset, Wicomico and
Worcester Counties. Through RSVP,
seniors 55 years of age or
older are offered a variety of meaningful opportunities
to donate
their services to their communities. What makes this program
unique
is that the needs of each agency can be matched with the
special interests of
the volunteer. Participants can lend their
expertise and enthusiasm to non-profit,
private and public
community organizations, offering an array of services to the
community.
RSVP offers continuous support to ensure that
each volunteer's experience is
a rich and rewarding one. The
program offers public recognition of volunteers
at our annual
luncheon given in their honor.
One special program available through RSVP
recruits, trains and matches
volunteers to visit lonely nursing
home residents who have no close relatives
or friends. About one
hour of time per week with a nursing home resident will do
so
much to relieve the loneliness and frustration many older persons
feel.
