RSVP invites all local veterans to stop by on Sept. 11th, the National Day of Service and Remembrance, and collect items they may need. Through the great efforts of this community, RSVP has collected a large donation of items such as winter coats, hats, new shirts and socks, food and toiletries.
Nevada Health Centers will also be outside the RSVP office on September 11th providing free flu and covid-19 vaccinations. “RSVP is honored to serve our local veterans by making vaccinations easily accessible and also providing them with food and clothes for this upcoming winter,” said Molly Walt, CEO.

The national nonprofit, 9/11, Day has asked people across the nation to do an act of service on or around the date September 11th in remembrance and tribute to this day.
