Located in the Fairfield Public Library, the FVC connects people’s skills, talents and interests with opportunities to serve. It mobilizes volunteers, offers volunteer management support to organizations, and develops programs to address community needs.
The Fairfield Volunteer Center is also the sponsoring agency for the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), and pictured to the right holding the plaque is JoBeth Lewer, RSVP Director. The RSVP program engages local Fairfield residents 55 and older who volunteer their time to assist in the support of elderly and disabled individuals living in their own homes, and with low-cost weatherization of homes for needy families. The program recognizes the important roll that seniors play in addressing critical community needs, and looks forward to meeting Fairfield senior citizens who are excited in getting involved and leading with experience.
The FVC and RSVP programs may be contacted at 641-209-9045, fairfieldvolunteers@gmail.com, or visit their website at
www.fairfieldvolunteercenter.org . Hours are Monday through Friday from 12 to 4 p.m.
