MANY VOLUNTEERS NEEDED!
HURRICANE SANDY VOLUNTEER UPDATE

If you can lend a hand for a couple of hours we will be needing your help as soon as the heavy earth-moving equipment operators complete their work in the Misquamicut Beach community.

Other southern RI shoreline clean-ups are being organized and we will inform you of them as the information becomes available.
