The Realtor Service Volunteer Program (RSVP) is getting set for its annual week of volunteer service to the community. This annual week-long community outreach program, initiated in 2001, provides free assistance to qualified seniors housebound individuals who cannot perform certain tasks within their homes. The goal is to have all the work required by a single homeowner completed by a small team of volunteers in a single visit.
Many Realtors recognize this as a wonderful way to give back to the community that we depend on for our livelihood and volunteer their time to wash windows, change light bulbs and smoke detector batteries, trim bushes, clean gutters, move furniture, flip mattresses, and any other routine maintenance tasks that do not require special expertise.
If you would like to submit an application for assistance in your home, please contact me for an application form. Applications are due in mid April. A coordinating team with preview the homes selected to determine how many volunteers and what materials will be required. The work will be completed between May 7th and May 12th.
