RSVP-Northern Virginia and Chesterbrook Residences hosting 2nd Annual Valentine's Meet and Greet for volunteers 55+
RSVP-Northern Virginia, a program of Volunteer Fairfax, Volunteer Arlington and Volunteer Alexandria, is inviting volunteers to “spread the love” at its second annual Valentine’s Meet and Greet, Tuesday, Feb. 12, at Chesterbrook Residences in Falls Church.
RSVP (Retired and Senior Volunteer Program), the region’s largest volunteer network for people 55-years-old and better, provides personalized support to seniors and retirees who are seeking their ideal service opportunities in and around Fairfax County, Arlington County and the City of Alexandria.
During the meet and greet, participants will get to “spread the love” by assembling Valentine's care packages and cards for local Meals on Wheels clients as well as for residents of Chesterbrook. New volunteers can also take part in a mini-RSVP orientation and hear from some of RSVP’s nonprofit partners about different volunteer opportunities needs in the area. The goal of the February 12 event is to make 400 Valentine's Day cards.
