The RSVP Volunteer Center of Daviess

Kim Herbertz

The RSVP Volunteer Center is a community of 400 volunteers age 55 and better whose mission is to serve our small rural communities in southwestern Indiana. The volunteers work in 40 different agencies and organizations and perform hundreds of different tasks and functions. Their comfort care groups make teddy bears for children in the local hospital, who have suffered trauma, or who are in the foster care system. They also knit, crochet and sew lap blankets, quilts, and walker caddies for elderly residents of area nursing facilities. 40 people work on these projects. Our organization has been in operation for 46 years.

Kim Herbertz said, “We do this to help our friends and neighbors and those in our community who might not have someone who shows them that they are cared about.”
