If you enjoy being out in the sunshine we would appreciate your help! AIDS Care Ocean State offers supportive and assisted living facilities designed to offer our clients a family atmosphere while providing essential care to encourage a healthy lifestyle. Rigorous medication regiments and various obstacles with health can make outdoor work and garden maintenance difficult for our clients.
Garden & Yard Volunteers support our clients by offering a helping hand with mowing, weeding, raking and planting flowers and plants. You needn't be a garden guru but hopefully you enjoy working outdoors in a fun and friendly environment.
Volunteers can make this opportunity as flexible as your schedule allows, whether it's once a week or once a month, we greatly appreciate your help!
