On Saturday, September 29, SVA Volunteered to build a playground in a Warren, RI town park.  The event was titled the "Warren Project Playground."

The SVA is also responsible for coordinating the annual campus-wide Turkey Basket Contest, which this year garnered nearly 60 complete Thanksgiving meals for Bristol and Warren families in need.  They also sponsor the annual Giving Tree through which RWU adopts 4 families from Bristol for the holidays.
