This could be as a tutor with the literacy council, a day care provider at University High School, a helping hand at Community Kitchen, or many other different kinds of jobs with different kinds of people. For example, RSVP provided many hours of service to organizers of Roswell's 125th Birthday Celebration, Phillips said. Once they are placed at a service location, participants are free to donate as many or as few hours as they desire. Some participants donate just one or two hours a week while others donate practically as many hours as when they worked full-time jobs. Phillips added RSVP also helps provide transportation to volunteers who wish to join but need a way to get there.
Reimbursement is available to volunteers who drive their own cars.
Or, some volunteers never need to go anywhere. The knit caps newborn babies wear home from Eastern New Mexico Medical Center are made by RSVP volunteers in their homes. People over 55 who are interested in joining RSVP are invited to call Phillips or Maureen Vallerd at 623-3960.
