Rutland Young Professionals is offering three opportunities to give back to the community, the state, and the organization in the coming weeks.
Adopt-a-Family
Rutland Young Professionals is proud to partner with Rutland Regional Medical Center’s Adopt-a-Family program to make a difference in the lives of underserved families this holiday season. Last year was their first year participating in this program, and they delivered more than 50 gifts donated by our members. Due to Covid-19, RRMC is not accepting donations of physical items this year. They are instead accepting monetary donations to purchase gift cards for food, clothing and toys that will be donated to local families in need. They hope that RYP members and community members will come together this holiday season and help meet their $500 goal.
There are a couple ways to give:
1. Visit givebutter.com/ryp-adopt-a-family
2. Text RYP to (202) 858-1233
The deadline to give is Sunday, Nov. 29 at 11:59 p.m.
Statewide YP call with Congressman Peter Welch
Join Congressman Peter Welch and young professionals from across Vermont for a brief legislative update, followed by a Q+A session on Monday, Nov. 30 at 4:30 p.m. Participants can brings question or just listen and learn more about what’s happening in YP groups and with peers around the state. Pre-registration is required at bit.ly/35M5Uhj.
Save the date for GivingTuesday!
For the first time in its seven-year history, Rutland Young Professionals is participating in GivingTuesday! Created in 2012, GivingTuesday is a global generosity movement unleashing the power of people and organizations to transform their communities and the world. This year, the RYP Board of Directors decided to forgo their usual sponsorship drive, recognizing the challenges facing our local businesses as a result of Covid-19. They’ve remained committed to maintaining the same opportunities and services. Every donation this GivingTuesday – regardless of its size – will help RYP to keep providing these valuable opportunities to the community.
