“The numbers are impressive: over 700 men and women volunteers, 78,000 hours of
service donated in one year, 33 years of dedicated service. But sometimes, the
real story can get lost in the big numbers. To me the number that best represents
the value of RSVP is 1. One person taking the time out of their busy schedule to
help a new mother. One volunteer making math interesting to a first grader. One
senior making a blanket for a sick child.”

How One RSVP Volunteer Made an Impact
“I remember a shy little girl that I met when I began volunteering with the Worcester Public Schools. After a few visits, the girl began to welcome me by running up and giving me a big hug. If I accomplished nothing else that year, watching that little girl change was enough for me.”
