The Ocean State Center for Independent Living (OSCIL) will host Lunch and Learn Workshops on Wednesday, June 28 from 12-2 p.m. at OSCIL’s Warwick office at 1944 Warwick Avenue, Warwick (the Beacon Building) and Thursday, June 29 from 12-2 pm at their office at 175 Main Street in Pawtucket.

This month, a representative from Dream Fetchers, a non-profit organization will be at both locations to share information about their program which believes in the capacity of rescue dogs - these dogs are not broken, just failed by humans; so we give them a second chance and train them as companions, emotional support, therapy, or service dogs.  Dream Fetchers is dedicated to the idea that through the unconditional love of animals anyone can, in spite of their disabilities, be touched and delighted by a friendly pup through a program of learning and love.

As part of OSCIL’s outreach and community education initiative, OSCIL offers these free “Lunch and Learn” workshops highlighting various solutions that can increase access in your home and community.

A Sign Language Interpreter and CART (provided by Hamilton Relay) have been secured for this event.

Advance registration is required; call 738-1013 if you plan to attend either session. Seating is limited. Lunch (pizza) will be served. 

United Way’s 211 Outreach RV will also be onsite at our Warwick location on June 28 to answer questions on other resources and services available in Rhode Island.
