Bringing together volunteers and organizations
in the Sioux Empire.
July 2018
WELCOME to the RSVP Newsletter! We are excited to provide you
with monthly updates, events, stories and news regarding the RSVP
program and what is happening among your fellow RSVP members
and organizations in the Sioux Empire.
Volunteering as an Older Adult
There are many great rewards to volunteering
No matter what age you get started. Studies show that men and women at, beyond or
approaching retirement age can benefit greatly from volunteer work.
The reasons why older adults volunteer varies, but in its 2014 survey the AARP’s
Experience Corps found that 97 percent of its volunteers indicated that their volunteer
work with the organization gave them a sense of purpose.
RSVP is one of the largest volunteer networks in the nation for people 55 and over.
You can use the skills and talents you’ve learned over the years, or develop new ones
while serving in a variety of volunteer activities within your community.
Over 20 Years of Volunteer Work!
Millie and Bob have been volunteering in the Sioux
Falls community for OVER 20 years! Making a differ-
ence weekly at organizations like Meals on Wheels
and Active Generations. Bob and Millie help pack
and deliver meals to those who are home bound or
unable to make their own meals in their homes. Bob
just celebrated his 90th Birthday in June, as wells as
the happy couple celebrating their 50th Wedding
Anniversary! We are so grateful to have volunteers
like Millie and Bob making the Sioux Empire a better
place to live!
