Thank you to fellow volunteer organization Wood River Village for a great meeting!

Wood River Village serves the senior populations of Exeter, Hopkinton and Richmond through its services such as transportation, assistance with home repairs and access to social events.

As outlined on their website, Wood River Village “promotes independence, connection, and well-being” while “helping neighbors stay active, engaged, and rooted in the communities they love.”

Members of Wood River Village will be joining us at RICAN in June with a table to share additional information about their services and how to sign up.

For additional information at the moment, make sure to check out their website, or feel free to contact them via [email protected] or (401) 218-0451.

Thank you from RICAN!

RICAN would like to take this opportunity to extend a huge THANK YOU to Lisa Chaloux, who recently donated close to $1,500! Each year, Lisa hosts her Kentucky Derby fundraiser at The Breachway Grill and donates the proceeds to RICAN. We are incredibly grateful for the compassion of our neighbors. Thank you, Lisa!
