The Ocean State Center for Independent Living (OSCIL) will host a Lunch and Learn Workshop and Flu Clinic on Wednesday, October 26 from 12 to 2 p.m. at OSCIL’s Warwick office at 1944 Warwick Avenue, Warwick. 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.

This month’s topic is “The Challenges of Using Public Transportation.” Staff from the Rhode Island Organizing Project (RIOP) will lead a discussion and hear about the challenges of using public transportation. Items for discussion include Logisticare and the campaign to save the RIPTA No-Fare Bus Pass among others. Bring your experiences, ideas and questions!

The Rhode Island Organizing Project (RIOP) has been organizing community residents to improve their communities for over 20 years. RIOP’s current priorities include improving health care and public transportation for seniors and disabled adults.

There will also be a Flu Clinic during this event for those who need a flu shot. (Bring your insurance card.) United Way’s 211 Outreach RV will also be onsite to answer your questions on other resources and services available in RI.
