We may be closed for our activities at the RSVP facility, but there are still many opportunities to volunteer. If you would like to participate, download the Volunteer Application. You can email the completed form to us using the Contact Us Page. You can also mail it to the address at the bottom of this page. No matter which volunteer activity you choose, RSVP needs the hours you volunteer. Keep up with your hours using the Volunteer Hours Monthly Report. Send this in at the end of each month.

If you need more information use the Contact Us Page.

VOLUNTEER HOURS NEEDED

We at RSVP understand that you probably are not able to do your normal volunteer work and hope you are staying safe. Even with restrictions in place, many of you are volunteering differently by helping others and we need a report of the hours you have worked.

Have you done any of the following for the elderly or sick? Neighbors or friends?

Picked up their mail?
Sent emails or cards?
Left vegetables or flowers on their porch?
Walked their dog?
Gotten groceries and supplies?
Made phone calls to check on them?
Cooked and/or delivered a meal?

All of these are great ways to volunteer. Have you done other tasks that could be considered volunteering in your community? Let us hear from you. Please either email your hours to admasst@mcrsvp.org or mail them to RSVP, 19272 US-431, Guntersville, 35976. Please include your name, type of task, and time spent doing task.

Here are some more opportunities to safely volunteer while our facility is closed:

3. Litter Bug Challenge - Adopt a block of your neighborhood or other areas for litter cleanup.
