RSVP of Northeast Kansas

Goal: $25,000.00

Specific Need

For nearly 50 years, RSVP of Northeast Kansas has been a cornerstone of our community, empowering volunteers aged 55 and older to make a profound difference. Our programs provide essential services like free tax assistance for low- to moderate-income individuals, Medicare counseling for seniors, and nutritious meals for those who lack access to reliable food sources.

Today, we face an urgent challenge. For the first time in our history, RSVP's main federal funding from AmeriCorps was not renewed. Without immediate support, we risk losing the ability to serve the individuals and families who rely on us most.

We are asking for your help to raise $25,000 to keep RSVP's doors open for the rest of this year. Every dollar you donate will go directly to sustaining our signature programs and ensuring that our volunteers can continue their invaluable work in the community. Together, we can make sure that RSVP remains a source of hope and support for those who need it most.

Your generosity can make a difference. Every contribution, no matter the size, brings us closer to our goal.

Thank you for standing with RSVP and helping us continue our mission.
