Through their volunteer hours, they make a difference in the lives of everyone in their communities. Last year, over 1500 active volunteers in Passaic, Essex and Hudson counties made up the RSVP volunteer force. They come from all walks of life, with a wide range of experience, skills and talents. Nearly 300,000 hours of time have been provided this year by RSVP volunteers to over 190 non-profit agencies in the community. They assist with tasks that range from answering phones to strategic management responsibilities, and to serving food to victims at the site of a disaster.
Volunteers donate as much or as little time as their lives and schedules permit.
Advocacy, foster care, disaster response, schools and educational programs are a few of the many entities which benefit from the thousands of volunteer hours given by RSVP volunteers.
