The Program
That Started It All
Launched in 2017 by the City of Springfield, Give 5 began as a way to connect retirees with local nonprofits addressing the community’s most pressing needs. The idea was simple—commit five hours a week to helping others—and the impact was immediate.
Today, Give 5 Springfield serves as the flagship model for programs across Missouri and the nation, proving that retirement is not an end, but a new beginning filled with purpose and connection.

The notion of citizens wanting to do something for their community is a precious thing and Give 5 is a fantastic vehicle for capturing that notion, nurturing it and connecting it with the nonprofits in that community.

Give 5 is a smart way to connect aging Boomers with non-profit volunteering opportunities. It’s a brilliant strategy to solve two growing social problems simultaneously—the dangerous isolation of older Americans and the dangerous isolation of younger have-not Americans.
