SAMCAR and RSVP week: Give back to your community!
Since 2000, the San Mateo County Association of REALTORS® (SAMCAR) has participated in the RSVP program which is a week long community outreach that helps senior citizens in the surrounding community with basic household tasks that may be difficult or impossible for them to perform. The program was started by the Silicon Valley Association of REALTORS® (SILVAR) and was quickly adopted by many other REALTORS® Associations in California.
The success of the program is based on three key factors:
1. The volunteer time and energy put forth by local REALTORS® and others who give back to their community.
2. The local business who donate materials, money, and time to the program to be sure the volunteers have what they need to help.
3. Being able to find local senior citizens who need assistance.
If you know of anyone who fits in any of these categories in San Mateo County, please go to the SAMCAR RSVP site and get more information.
SAMCAR needs volunteers! It’s always a fun time and you’re giving back to your community. Please check out the above site for more information about how you can donate your time and energy to those who need it! The deadline is Friday, March 3rd so hurry to sign up. We already have over 80 Seniors needing help during the week of May 3-7th so we need you! The direct form can be found here.
If you have any questions, feel free to contact me as well, I can be sure you end up at the right place and will be an active participant in this year’s RSVP week!
