Food Assistance
Many RSVP volunteers serve at local food shelves, manna markets and meal delivery programs to ensuring neighbors have access to food. Many people receiving food from these partnerships are often under-employed, may be low-income or seniors on fixed incomes. Then, COVID-19 happened, and food shelves reported a large increase in community need, while shifting their in-person model to pre-ordered boxes of food which were placed in client’s trunks during appointment times. One survey responder stated “Thank you! You don’t know how much this helped us. Bless you!”.
