Group Projects - 2011: 190 Volunteers 46,682 Volunteer Hours

 

If you are searching for a “feel good” program-with-a-purpose, you will touch many lives by being a Group Projects/Homeworker volunteer. RSVP volunteers work in groups and/or at home to make everything from baby items to quilts to walker/wheelchair bags, and much more.  These items are then distributed to nonprofit organizations, social service agencies, faith-based organizations, schools, etc. throughout Dane County to help their clients of all ages.

Our volunteers often tell us this program is what gets them going in the morning….to give from the hand and the heart, not to mention the camaraderie, friendship, and social interaction that is part of volunteering together in a group.

“Gives me purpose!  Helping others whom I know appreciate what our group gives and
makes.”


“I love RSVP and have finally found a charity group that has added so much to my life.”
