In Rappahannock, people visit their sick neighbors, take those unable to drive shopping and to the doctor, help local public service agencies, and generally perform all the neighborly kindnesses long associated with rural life. Some of these good neighbors are Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) volunteers.
The RSVP program in Rappahannock, says specialist Jeannie McNear, carries on a tradition that was already strongly in place. “Most of our volunteers do what they would be doing anyway,” she said. “They don’t really want recognition — they think of it as service that is necessary and requires everyone to do their part.”
Jeannie lists dozens of volunteers, many of whom are active in more than one area. Sid and Margaret Gottlieb of Boston log many hours of RSVP work each month.
