Volunteer Opportunities:

February 24 - March 30, 2025

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.
