The following are some of the volunteer opportunities currently open in Freeborn County. If you can help with any of them or would like to volunteer for others, call Pat Stumme, Retired and Senior Volunteer Program director, at Senior Resources, 377-7433.

RSVP first aid kits: Just ask at Raleigh’s Ace Hardware, 2525 Bridge Ave., Albert Lea, for the RSVP just-right size first aid kits equipped for your outdoor person, traveler or home emergencies. The modest $10 purchase price also makes a donation to RSVP for Freeborn County. Remember, spring brings graduations, confirmations and gifting showers of all kinds and you are helping the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program at the same time.

Community Mentor Connection: Do you remember wishing you could play catch, go fishing or go to a movie with a reliable grown up? Any child age 9 to 13 is much less at risk when the invaluable weekly connection with an adult is in their life. You can be that someone who makes a difference and helps a child to know they can grow strong. Connect with Carolyn at 379-3409 to learn more.

Front desk receptionist: Could you help with receptionist duties at the Senior Resources office for three to four hours a day once or twice a week? Your willingness to volunteer is most appreciated by the folks who seek information at the Senior Resources office by phone, walk-ins or appointment. A call to Marilyn at 377-7433 can set a schedule that fits your calendar.

RSVP, a program of Senior Resources of Freeborn County, receives some funding through the United Way of Freeborn County, the Minnesota Board on Aging and the Corporation for National and Community Service.
