THE PRIMARY FOCUS AREA FOR THIS GRANT IS HEALTHY FUTURES INCLUDING THE PROVISION OF RIDES FOR SENIORS TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS (RIDE EASY), TRIAD (PREVENTING ELDER ABUSE) AND INCREASING ACCESS TO NUTRITIOUS FOODS THROUGH FOOD PANTRIES AND THE CREATION OF COMMUNITY GARDENS AND DISTRIBUTION OF COMMODITIES. SENIOR SERVICES OF VAN BUREN COUNTY'S RSVP HAS BEEN SUCCESSFUL IN MEETING TRANSPORTATION NEEDS FOR SENIORS. TWO YEARS AGO RSVP PROVIDED 9 ROUND TRIP RIDES IN ITS FIRST FEW MONTHS OF OPERATION; THIS YEAR WE ARE ON TRACT TO PROVIDE 722 ROUND TRIP RIDES. FIVE YEARS AGO, TRIAD WAS ONLY A CONVERSATION. TODAY IT IS A VIBRANT PROGRAM REDUCING CRIME AGAINST THE ELDERLY, HELPING STOPPING ELDER ABUSE AND EDUCATING SENIORS ABOUT ELDER ABUSE, CRIMES AND FRAUD. THE TRIAD IMPACT HAS BEEN SO INTENSE THAT THE COUNTY SHERIFF'S DEPARTMENT ASSIGNED A DETECTIVE TO HANDLE ALL TRIAD CASES. AT THE BEGINNING OF THIS GRANT SENIOR SERVICES VOLUNTEERS WERE DISTRIBUTING COMMODITIES AT TWO LOCATIONS, AS OF TODAY RSVP VOLUNTEERS ARE NOW DISTRIBUTING COMMODITIES TO LOW INCOME SENIORS AND OTHER COMMUNITY MEMBERS AT FIVE LOCATIONS. WE HAVE ALSO DISTRIBUTED FOOD THROUGH THREE FOOD TRUCKS THIS PAST YEAR TO THOSE IN NEED. THE DEMAND ON FOOD BANKS HAS BEEN OVERWHELMING AS HAS THE INCREASED NEED FOR EMERGENCY FOOD. FOOD PANTRIES HAVE MORE VOLUNTEERS TO HELP DISTRIBUTE AND COLLECT FOOD THANKS TO RSVP. SENIOR SERVICES, A NON-PROFIT CORPORATION SERVING OLDER ADULTS, IS IN ITS FIRST YEAR OF IT'S SECOND GRANT CYCLE. THIS PROGRAM WAS FUNDED FOR THIS COUNTY FOR THE FIRST TIME 4? YEARS AGO WHEN CNCS EXPANDED RSVP TO A LIMITED FEW NEW AREAS. OUTSIDE OF THE PRIMARY FOCUS AREA, SENIOR SERVICES' RSVP HAS ADDRESSED OTHER FOCUS AREAS AND CAPACITY BUILDING ACTIVITIES AND OTHER COMMUNITY PRIORITIES TO BE PART OF THE PROGRAM. SENIOR SERVICES HAS PLACED 54% (172 VOLUNTEERS) (MUST HAVE AT LEAST 25%) IN ITS PRIMARY FOCUS AREA; 41% (134 VOLUNTEERS) IN THE OTHER FOCUS AREAS AND CAPACITY BUILDING; AND 5% (15 VOLUNTEERS) (NO MORE THAN 30%) IN THE OTHER COMMUNITY PRIORITY AREAS. THE OTHER FOCUS AREAS ARE AS FOLLOWS: FOCUS AREA: ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY -- HOUSING. THE SERVICE ACTIVITY IS HOME ENERGY AUDITS, MINOR HOME REPAIR AND RAMP BUILDING. RSVP HAS BUILT 50 HANDICAP RAMPS FOR 50 INDIVIDUALS STRUGGLING WITH MOBILITY ISSUES. RSVP WILL PROVIDE UP TO 40 ADDITIONAL SENIOR FAMILIES WITH MINOR HOME REPAIR AND ENERGY AUDITS; FOCUS AREA: ECONOMIC OPPORTUNITY -- FINANCIAL LITERACY. RSVP WILL PROVIDE VITA TAX ASSISTANCE. RSVP VOLUNTEERS WILL PREPARE OVER 200 INCOME TAX RETURNS FOR LOW INCOME PERSONS AND SENIORS; FOCUS AREA: VETERANS AND MILITARY FAMILIES. RSVP WILL DEVELOP THE "DRIVE A VET" TRANSPORTATION PROGRAM WHEREBY VOLUNTEERS WILL PROVIDE RIDES TO VETERANS TO OBTAIN NEEDED MEDICAL SERVICES; FOCUS AREA: DISASTER SERVICES -- ASSISTANCE PROVIDED BY AMERICAN RED CROSS, SALVATION ARMY AND VOLUNTEER CRAFTERS. RSVP WILL PROVIDE VOLUNTEERS TO STAFF CALL CENTERS AND ASSIST WITH DISASTER RELIEF. RSVP VOLUNTEERS WILL HAND-CRAFT ITEMS FOR LOCAL AND OVERSEAS DISASTER ORGANIZATIONS THAT WILL BE DISTRIBUTED TO INDIVIDUALS IN NEED; FOCUS AREA: K-12 SUCCESS. RSVP VOLUNTEERS WILL WORK ONE-ON-ONE WITH ELEMENTARY STUDENTS AS SUPERVISED BY TEACHERS; FOCUS AREA: CAPACITY BUILDING. RSVP VOLUNTEER RECRUITERS - THE ADVISORY COUNCIL MEMBERS-- WILL RECRUIT NEW VOLUNTEERS TO JOIN THE PROGRAM; FOCUS AREA: OTHER COMMUNITY PRIORITIES. RSVP VOLUNTEERS WILL VOLUNTEER FOR NON-PROFIT ORGANIZATIONS SUCH AS THE PUBLIC HEALTH DEPARTMENT, THE DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COALITION, AND THE LOCAL HOSPITAL, HOSPICE CARE, THE ART CENTER AND MORE. MOST NON-PROFIT AGENCIES NEED VOLUNTEERS TO HELP FULFILL THEIR MISSIONS. RSVP HAS EXPERIENCED GREAT SUCCESS IN ITS SHORT EXISTENCE. SENIOR SERVICES REPUTATION FOR PROVIDING QUALITY SERVICE TO SENIORS IS STRONG. IT WAS EVIDENT THAT GOVERNMENTAL UNITS TRUSTED IN SENIOR SERVICES WHEN AGREEING TO PLACE A MILLAGE ON THEIR RESPECTIVE BALLOTS SO SENIOR SERVICES COULD EXPAND COUNTY-WIDE AND THEN ALL OF
