Mark your calendars and stop out!

On September 23 RSVP of Crawford County held its first annual Volunteer Recruitment Fair at the Bucyrus Public Library. We had a good number of interested local seniors who attended and were able to hear about local volunteer opportunities with current partners at Crawford County Council on Aging, Bucyrus Backpack Program, American Red Cross, Mid Ohio Youth Mentoring Program, and New Day Ministries. We are so thankful for everyone who attended as well as our partners who participated to make this event a success! We look forward to growing the event in 2023!

Tis the season when we start seeing our friends from the Salvation Army Portage County volunteers out supporting the Red Kettle Drive. Many helping hands are needed to fill shifts starting mid-November through December at select local grocery stores in Kent, Ravenna, Rootstown, and Streetsboro. If you would like to join our #PortageRSVP volunteer, Martin, and others by ringing the bell – then please contact our RSVP staff at (330) 877-2495 or email at cshanley@fcsohio.org for more information!

RSVP of Montgomery & Greene Counties is happy to welcome Hiroko to the RSVP family! 

She is anxious to get started and looks forward to meeting all of our partner agencies and volunteers in the community!

Students are ready to be served in multiple school systems across our three counties through our partnering mentoring programs. For only 30 minutes you could help a student practice their reading and fluency skills and lead to a friendship that could last a lifetime. Even before officially committing, come tag along and observe what all our mentors do. Our mentors' impact on these students helps with the students' reading skills, yes, but also impacts them socially and emotionally, because at the heart it shows someone cares about them. Fostoria Elementary, Tiffin City Schools, Union Elementary in Upper Sandusky, and now in Willard City Schools too, are all looking for mentors just like you! 

The Senior Support Action Group appreciates all of our community partnerships. Here, Paige Fortner (Program Manager) is seen with Jen Gaal, a Provider Relations Specialist at Buckeye Hospice and Palliative Care Services. She is a long-time volunteer who delivers to homebound seniors for SSAG twice a month.
