Entergy Pilgrim Station Supports Volunteerism in Plymouth County

Entergy Pilgrim Station awarded Mayflower RSVP, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program serving Plymouth County, with a $2,500 grant. 

“Volunteers throughout Plymouth County are mentoring students, easing hunger and homelessness, assisting the elderly, enriching families, preserving the environment and making our communities a better place for everyone,” said Darcy H. Lee, Executive Director & COO of Mayflower RSVP. “This grant will help us to meet the increasing number of requests for skilled volunteers from the Plymouth County communities we serve.”

“We are very grateful to Entergy Pilgrim Station for recognizing the importance of volunteerism, and our Senior Corps Volunteers who make a difference every day in the lives of so many,” continued Lee.

“We are funded in part by the Corporation for National and Community Service and the United Way of Greater Plymouth County, but we also need to raise 30% of our budget from corporations, foundations and individuals.  This grant from Entergy Pilgrim Station will help us meet our required match,” she added.

Mayflower RSVP, the Retired and Senior Volunteer Program for Plymouth County, engages 400 volunteers  age 55+ with  60 organizations throughout Plymouth County to improve the quality of life for citizens in need.
