BERLIN –Coös County RSVP volunteers made the Head Start nutrition service personnel’s day a little brighter after making and donating handmade aprons to be worn while making meals for Head Start children. Head Start has nine locations with twelve classrooms and one home-based program in the tri-county region. The RSVP volunteers aim to make at least two aprons for each nutrition service personnel staff member.
Throughout the year RSVP volunteers pick several projects to benefit the local community. RSVP is one of the largest volunteer networks in the nation for people 55 and over. Service opportunities are as diverse as the communities in which volunteers serve. To learn more about RSVP call 752-4103.
