12/6/16-This volunteer need is now filled. Thank you for your interest and Happy Holidays!
Volunteer Prince William’s Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) is looking for dedicated, friendly "elves" age 55 and up who can help with toy donations on December 13 and 14 at the Boys and Girls Club, 9501 Dean Park Lane, Manassas 20110. This is being done in support of the annual Un Trim a Tree program. Donations will be accepted 9am to 7pm both days - volunteers are needed to work a 2-3 hours shift in the morning or afternoon. Duties include helping unload donations from vehicles, placing toys for "adopted" children with the appropriate child’s school and any other help needed. Since this is an RSVP opportunity, volunteers must be at least 55. Volunteers should be prepared for prolonged standing and be prepared to lift bags of toys which may weigh up to 20 pounds. Volunteers will be filled with holiday spirit as they support this program which provides gifts for over 5,000 children in the local Manassas/Prince William community.

Description
Prince William RSVP is the premier volunteer program for adults 55 and older. Put your skills and talents to work helping to solve critical social problems.
With their time, talent, and wisdom, hundreds of retired persons are helping children learn to read by service through The Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP). Funded through the Corporation for National Service and in cooperation with the Points of Light Foundation, this initiative marks the first RSVP program within the greater Prince William area. While Prince William RSVP has been specifically focused as a literacy based program addressing the America Reads Challenge, we are proud to announce that the program is expanding to include more volunteer opportunities. New partners include the Prince William Area Agency on Aging and the 31st Juvenile Justice Department, American Red Cross, Habitat for Humanity, and Beacon just to name a few. Prince William RSVP volunteers choose the volunteer site, volunteer opportunity, day, and time that are most convenient to volunteer. Volunteer benefits include mileage reimbursement, cab service, supplemental accident insurance, training luncheons and get togethers, year-end recognition event, and a RSVP shirt or tote bag sporting our RSVP logo.
