Rsvp/macoa 115 e. Jefferson street montgomery, AL 36104 334-265-9204 executive summary rsvp of autauga, coosa, elmore, montgomery and tallapoosa counties (rsvp/macoa) is sponsored by the montgomery area council on aging (macoa). Macoa is in its 46TH year of operation. The mission of our rsvp project is to link the skills, knowledge, and experience of the volunteer age 55 and older with identified, critical needs in the community, and to provide rewarding opportunities for seniors. 14% of the population of our five county project is made up of people over the age of 65 and 17% is food insecure. Our primary focus area is healthy futures which addresses these segments of our population. An estimated 1,064 rsvp volunteers will serve in all six focus areas at 137 stations across our service area. Of this 1,064, 441 or 41%, of our volunteers are placed in outcome based assignments beginning year one. 661 volunteers or 62% are placed in the primary focus area of healthy futures. Activities of our volunteers in outcome bases assignments include delivering homebound meals, preparing and packaging frozen meals, providing transportation for seniors to doctor visits, the pharmacy, and grocery store, and providing companionship to the homebound. At the end of the three year grant period we plan to have 555 individuals with increased social ties/perceived social support due to the efforts of these volunteers. The cncs federal investment of $133,804 will be supplemented by $117,647 of state, local and sponsor support.
