The Corporation for National and Community Service awarded a $545,390 Project Grant to South Arkansas Regional Health Center, Inc. under the AmeriCorps Seniors Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP, CFDA 94.002). An estimated 150 RSVP volunteers will serve through the Tri County RSVP program in Columbia, Union, and Ouachita Counties, Arkansas. 126 volunteers will be placed in outcome assignments providing transportation for older adults, companionship and meals to homebound individuals, education on scams targeting seniors, assistance at local food pantries, literacy tutoring for adult students, and $125k in free income tax preparation for low-income citizens annually. By the end of the three-year grant period on March 31, 2024, the program expects 50 citizens will be able to age in place independently, 1,500 individuals will have greater food security, 15 adults will improve their literacy skills, and local nonprofits will receive needed volunteer support. The $545k federal investment will be supplemented by $55,820 in other resources.
