Volunteers often receive recognition from the organizations they serve. In addition, RSVP-VP recognizes volunteers in four ways:

• 75^th Birthday Party. A party for all RSVP volunteers who are 80 and older. Lunch, entertainment, socialization and individual photos commemorating the event. Supported by the Peninsula Rotary Club.
• RSVP-VP Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon. All active RSVP volunteers are invited to lunch at a local hotel. A brief program blends with good food, good company and door prizes to make a nice highlight to the volunteer year. 
• Outstanding Volunteer Service Recognition. Recognition of volunteers providing 400 or more hours of service during the preceding year. An informal lunch event with individual recognition of hours and organizations served. Sponsored by Old Point National Bank. 
• Other individual volunteer accomplishments are recognized in the RSVP-VP Newsletter and the Volunteer Update publications sent to all volunteers and donors.
