REALTOR® Volunteer Service Program (RSVP):
SCCAR Members Continue Tradition of Service to Local Seniors


On May 13, 2019, SCCAR REALTOR® Service Program Volunteers (RSVP) took to the streets and helped local seniors with a variety of needed tasks. The RSVP group went armed with supplies ready to wash windows, trim bushes, clean bathrooms, pull weeds, and even trim trees!

The program, eleven years running, assists the homebound and elderly by doing tasks and chores that they are unable to do themselves. This year over 40 RSVP volunteers serviced close to 60 senior homes. SCCAR is extremely thankful to our volunteers who donated their time, labor and supplies. We couldn't do it with them!

We look forward to next year's RSVP and assisting even more homeowners in Santa Cruz County!

What is RSVP?
RSVP is a one day community outreach program that takes place in May during "Adopt-A-Senior" Week. The program provides free assistance to qualified seniors who cannot otherwise perform certain household tasks due to physical or financial constraints.

Who Does the Work?
REALTORS® and Affiliates of the Santa Cruz County Association of REALTORS® take time each year to perform household tasks that seniors and the homebound cannot do on their own.
