Nevada Rural Counties RSVP program, based in Carson City, is collecting items for homeless veterans and veterans in need as part of the 2019 Martin Luther King Jr. Day of Service.
The MLK Day of Service is not just a day off, but an opportunity to serve. Americans from all walks of life work together to provide solutions to our most pressing national problems. “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is: What are you doing for others?” Dr. King asked.
Each year, Americans across the country answer that question by coming together on the King holiday to serve their neighbors and communities.

RSVP’s mission is to help frail, homebound, and low-income seniors remain independent by providing high quality programs which allow them to stay in their own homes with dignity. Additionally, RSVP coordinates a volunteer network of seniors who use their skills and talents to provide support to community agencies and address community needs through service.
