The RSVP Volunteer Caregiver Project is a Trempealeau County project through the Western Dairyland RSVP Program. The mission of the project is to provide practical assistance to people in their own communities -- a simple concept, which is taking hold across the state and across the country. Many older adults and/or disabled individuals who want to remain independent and at home are not able to do so simply because they cannot manage basic day to day tasks. Things like driving, grocery shopping, errands, household chores, and yard chores are beyond the scope of their physical capabilities. Loneliness is a common problem. Because Western Wisconsin is largely rural and because families have a tendency to move away, many elderly people are isolated. Add to that the fact that many older and disabled individuals can no longer drive, and the problem is magnified.
Western Dairyland's RSVP Volunteer Caregiver Project connects adults age 55 and over with meaningful volunteer service in communities throughout Trempealeau County.
Please call the Western Dairyland RSVP Volunteer Program office at 1-800-782-1063 ext. 1205 or ext. 1232 for more information.
