Upper Shore Aging
Upper Shore Aging’s Retired and Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP), sponsored by Upper Shore Aging, Inc. and funded by AmeriCorps, spans three counties on the Upper Eastern Shore of Maryland: Kent, Talbot, and Caroline. RSVP, launched in 2021, recruits and places older adults (age 55+) in a diverse range of volunteer activities to meet various community needs. Some of the advantages of being an RSVP volunteer are that the volunteers are covered under a supplemental accident and liability insurance policy, they can get meal and mileage reimbursement, and they receive volunteer recognition and ongoing support.
Currently, there are between 25 and 30 people in the program and the average age of RSVP volunteers is in the 60s.

The Mid-Shore Community Foundation
We wanted to share information about a wonderful foundation that supports a wide range of local and regional non-profits — the Mid-Shore Community Foundation (https://www.mscf.org/).
Established in 1992, the Mid-Shore Community Foundation is a 501(c)(3) public charity dedicated to enhancing the quality of life throughout the Mid-Shore Region of Caroline, Dorchester, Kent, Queen Anne’s, and Talbot Counties.
The Foundation works with donors to establish funds for the region — funds that are distributed as grants and scholarships — provides training programs and endowment management services to area nonprofits, and supports start‐up charities and local charitable projects in Kent County and elsewhere through fiscal sponsorship.
The Foundation is located in the historic Bullitt House, in downtown Easton, Maryland. Please consider making a general or targeted donation to this very worthy foundation.
