General Announcements
RSVP of Central Indiana needs volunteer help
 RSVP of Central Indiana, which is sponsored by Catholic Charities Indianapolis, is a program that matches adults age 55 or over with volunteer opportunities in nonprofit agencies.
  Currently, RSVP—which stands for “Retired Senior Volunteer Program”—needs volunteers in a variety of areas including caregiver relief, working with the homeless and encouraging children.
  The time that volunteers would need to commit is flexible, and there are no educational or skill requirements.
  Upcoming “Meet and Eat” events will help potential RSVP volunteers learn about opportunities open to them in the archdiocese.
  The first gathering will take place at 10 a.m. on Oct. 10 at Our Lady of the Greenwood Parish, 335 S. Meridian St., in Greenwood.
  Another gathering will start at 10 a.m. on Oct. 24 at the Archbishop O’Meara Catholic Center, 1400 N. Meridian St., in Indianapolis.
