What is RSVP?
The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program of Keith County recruits, supports and provides volunteer opportunities and experiences for persons over the age of 55. RSVP offers these services to non-profit organizations throughout the community allowing our volunteers to share the talents, knowledge and skills they have acquired in their lifetime in helping to fulfill the needs of others.
Currently, 310 volunteers assist over 37 different non-profit organizations in Keith County. These senior adults have served over 60,000 hours in the last year MAKING A DIFFERENCE, building stronger communities and addressing priority needs.
