Monadnock RSVP Volunteer Center provides individualized volunteer management services to individuals and groups seeking service opportunities. We recruit, screen, train and place volunteers at non-profit and public organizations to deliver direct services, expand or start new programs, and build organizational capacity. RSVP staff provides on-going support, consults, trains and serves as a resource for agency coordinators on best practices on developing a volunteer program and volunteer management. Monadnock RSVP administers a national literacy program, America Reads, in 17 elementary schools and six Head Start/early learning programs to help children become proficient readers by the end of third grade. Under the guidance of a teacher or reading specialist, volunteers are matched with students one-to-one or in small groups to provide literacy support weekly throughout the school year. RSVP’s Neighbors-In-Deed program provides person-centered independent living services to low-income seniors, veterans and military family members who may be lonely, isolated, or living with a disability so they can remain living in their homes as long as possible and maintain their dignity and quality of life. Volunteers are matched one-to-one to provide ongoing companionship and non-medical assistance with daily activities such as: friendly visiting/companionship, handyman repairs, respite care, transportation and supported assistance and rides to medical appointments, grocery shopping, pharmacy and other basic human needs.

Baby furniture, baby supplies; baby clothing up to size 2T and maternity clothing available. Furniture and clothing in good or new condition will be accepted. Call ahead for all donated furniture items with make and model so they may be checked against the government recall list prior to drop off.
