The Village Common focused on growth as key fundraiser approaches
For a local branch of The Village Common to be successful, it needs committed local organizers and volunteers, says Caroline Dillon, executive director, as well as an organic groundswell of support rather than force-feeding such a chapter on a community.
“If we go to a community and say you should have a village, it never works,” she told The Breeze.
The Village Common of Rhode Island is a nonprofit, volunteer-driven membership organization aiming to support older adults who wish to age in their home via a network of local villages, or communities of mutual support, in Rhode Island.
