Read MoreA sincere thank you to the volunteers who help to support all of the volunteers at SRIV, the neighbors in need, and services provided each year. Thank you Louise, Eileen and John we couldn't do this without you. Kathy B. thank you for all the food you prepared for the in-house volunteers.
A big thank you to our student volunteers from the Transition Academy of Westerly for all you do each week at SRIV. We wish you all continued success.
Shannon, Dan, Tanner, and all our service volunteers this year thank you for your efforts.
And, finally to Shooter and Briar our canine volunteers, thank you for lifting spirits and adding to our family on your visits to the office. Enjoy the bones!
Southern Rhode Island Volunteers' Office Dogs Briar (above) and Shooter (below) wishing everyone some holiday cheer!
Thank you to all the volunteers, donors and the Jonnycake Center of Peace Dale who made this special holiday meal delivery a success!! There were a lot of goodies going out today to homebound seniors in the South Kingstown and Narragansett area.
Sending out a special thank you to all the volunteers who delivered the Jonnycake Center of Peace Dale's special Thanksgiving groceries this morning! Over 80 deliveries were made and this would not have been possible without volunteers and those who donate food to make this program possible. Thank you for ensuring everyone enjoys a warm Thanksgiving meal!
Southern Rhode Island Volunteers’ mission is to enhance lives by inspiring, creating and supporting a lifelong culture of service through our volunteer members and affiliates across Southern Rhode Island.

SRIV is looking for two volunteers to deliver for Meals on Wheels, Mondays and Wednesdays, pick up at 9am in South Kingstown.
CRITICAL NEED: Transportation to and from:
medical appointments
dentists
therapies
pharmacies
This is a very flexible opportunity. You can choose the geographic communities/area you wish to serve, days, times—there’s no schedule.
When a need arises, you’d get a call based on your preferences and if you’re available, great-if not, we’ll call you another time.
Delivery of groceries once a week is another way to help a homebound senior. Thursday mornings is delivery day from some major markets when our volunteers deliver to 3 or 4 senior homes their weekly groceries; other times include individual pick-ups and deliveries which work the same way as medical transportation scheduling does.
Southern RI Volunteers has opportunities for volunteers on our Development & Marketing committee. Our team meets by zoom (the first Wednesday of each month at 5:30 pm for 1 hour) to discuss, develop and work on two events each year and to discuss ways to share SRIV’s mission, volunteer and client stories to educate our neighbors across our southernmost 13 communities in RI.
Members of our Development team as well as all volunteers also support community events like the Washington County Fair and Charlestown Sea Food Festival among others if they are interested. These are seasonal community events that support local nonprofits and more. These opportunities are open to individuals 13 plus years of age.
Join our dedicated and fun Development & Marketing committee—to learn more, contact Deb at SRIV. Leave your name and number at 401-552-7661 or email info@southernrivol.org.
How about being a volunteer “sub”. Be on our call list to see if you might occasionally be available to deliver meals on wheels in the South Kingstown, Narragansett and Exeter areas. This is only an occasional opportunity or a sub opportunity for a regular volunteer who is away for any length of time.
Hoping to meet you soon and call you one of the team!
Call SRIV at 401-552-7661 Monday through Friday between 9 am and 3 pm for info.
