Do you like to crochet, knit, or sew? RSVP volunteers help to make bags, blankets, sensory blankets, pillows, and beanies to distribute to local schools, special needs schools, DCF, and other community partners that express a need for such items. This can be done in the comfort of your own home. RSVP staff will coordinate with you toward the end of each month to pick-up goods!
If you'd rather make and create in a group setting, we can connect you to a group - just reach out!
RSVP volunteers receive excess medical, excess auto, and volunteer liability insurance. Volunteers that drive over 71 miles in a month are also eligible to receive gas mileage reimbursement.

Description
The RSVP Volunteer Program invites adults age 55 and over to use their life experience and skills to help older adults and strengthen our community in Sedgwick County. Volunteers give their time to support programming that reduces social isolation among older adults and provide nutritional support, among many other activities and initiatives. RSVP volunteers also improve and enhance the quality of the community organizations they serve. With RSVP, volunteers will receive appreciation gifts, recognition events, and may also qualify for the President's Volunteer Service Award. Active volunteers receive volunteer liability, excess automobile, and excess medical insurance to, from, and while volunteering.
