EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Recommendation to approve a Resolution to permit cash and non-cash donations from members of
the public to the Community and Human Services Division for the Services for Seniors Program,
Senior Nutrition, and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program.
OBJECTIVE: Permit the acceptance of donations from the public contributing to the general benefit to
seniors living and volunteering in the community.
CONSIDERATIONS: Annually, agencies, local businesses, and other organizations provide cash and
non-cash donations to the Community and Human Services (CHS) Division.
The Services for Seniors Program provides in-home support services to Collier County’s eligible senior
residents. The Senior Nutrition Program serves meals to seniors at four (4) congregate meal sites and
provides home delivered meals to eligible residents in Collier County. Non-cash donations, such as;
clothing, household and personal hygiene products are received throughout the year and are distributed to
those seniors served in the seniors’ program. The Senior Nutrition Program accepts unsolicited cash
donations from the seniors who participate in the congregate meal site program and the home delivered
meal program; the donations are deposited back into the program to provide additional nutrition services.
The Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) co-sponsored by Collier County since 1990 matches
volunteers with area agencies requesting senior volunteers to help serve the needs of the community. The
RSVP Program sponsors several events each year to recognize the volunteers for their service. Local
businesses often contribute gift cards/certificates to the program to support the service of the volunteers.
All cash and non-cash donations are tracked and recorded. When donations are disbursed, the senior or
volunteer must sign for the receipt of the donation. Staff is proposing a resolution to accept donations.
FISCAL IMPACT: Any cash donations received under the Services for Seniors Program, Senior
Nutrition, and/or RSVP will be presented to the Board of County Commissioners (Board) to authorize
Budget Amendments accepting the funds which will reside in the Human Services Grant Fund (707).
LEGAL CONSIDERATIONS: This Item is approved as to form and legality and requires majority vote
for approval. -JAB
GROWTH MANAGEMENT IMPACT: There is no Growth Management impact resulting from this
action.
RECOMMENDATION: To approve a Resolution to permit cash and non-cash donations from members
of the public to the Community and Human Services Division for the Services for Seniors Program,
Senior Nutrition, and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program.
