RSVP has an excellent group of devoted volunteers who make a difference in people's lives. For new volunteers there are many programs to choose from: Deliver Meals on Wheels, help create quilts, mentor a child in an afterschool or summer program, or monitor the ecology of a local stream. The staff is also very dedicated, knowledgeable and experienced. I am proud to be involved with RSVP of the Capital Region.
