Wicked Rhody is proud to partner with the United Way of Rhode Island, helping to spread the word about wonderful opportunities for you, your family, and your friends can volunteer in and around Rhode Island! 

It’s the unofficial end of summer in Rhode Island, as cooler temperatures and the vibrant colors of autumn leaves begin to appear on the horizon. But although the season is changing, local organizations remain in need of one of our state’s most important resources: volunteers.

Roger Williams Park’s “Drive-Through Jack-O-Lantern Spectacular” seeks nightly volunteers for Oct. 1 to Nov. 1 to help the zoo run a ‘spooktacular’ way to enjoy the Halloween season during COVID. Ticketed attendees will stay safe inside their cars while viewing thousands of intricately carved pumpkins. Contact Andrea Crafton: (401) 785-3510 ext. 356 or [email protected]. 

Save the Bay invites volunteers to participate in its International Coastal Cleanup effort to clean area beaches and record what they find for inclusion in global research on marine debris. Volunteers may join a group cleanup or organize their own with family and friends. Visit savebay.org/volunteer, or contact July Lewis at [email protected] and (401) 272-3540 ext. 130.

RI Free Clinic is in need of doctors and individuals who speak Spanish. Primary Care Doctors are sought to help provide free services to the uninsured, and general volunteers are needed to assist with interpreting, answering phones, and COVID-19 patient intake. Email Sophie Silvia at [email protected], or call (401) 274-6347 ext. 203.
