SVP Suffolk is a 501(c)3 organization whose purpose is to support older Americans who would like to remain active participants in their community by volunteering at our partnering not-for-profit organizations that meet critical community needs in Suffolk County. Since our inception in 1972, we have provided thousands of seniors (about 500 currently active) with volunteer placements in more than 75 not-for-profit community organizations . If you or someone you know has volunteered with RSVP at one of our sites which include schools, hospitals, beaches, museums, soup kitchens, hospice care, parks, blood drives, you understand how meaningful the opportunity is and how wonderful it is to care for our community. RSVP Suffolk also delivers its own free signature programs that offer much-needed services to residents. Perhaps your mom, dad, or neighbor has received a daily phone call from a senior volunteer in our Telephone Reassurance Program which reaches out to homebound seniors in need of a friendly ear. If you need help understanding Medicare, you can meet with one of our HIICAP volunteers. So many seniors are enjoying our Living Healthy programs which include A Matter of Balance and Tai Chi programs at their local libraries.
We need your help to continue volunteering and to grow our programs. If you would like to make an online donation, please visit RSVP Fundraising Campaign.

Dear RSVP Volunteers,
It is with great pride and joy that I write this letter today. Together we made our Tribute Day event a wonderful and very happy day. I am so proud of the amazing work you do and your incredible accomplishments over the last three years. I was so grateful and thankful that we could celebrate them together. I still feel the joy I felt that day as you showed me such kindness and shared your experiences and passion for volunteering with RSVP. I loved being with you and thank you from the bottom of my heart for what you all do every day for RSVP. I would like to share my thoughts from that day with you again.
