KRE Village

Who We Are

Since 2019, Seabrook Island Village (SIV) has assisted community members to remain independent and active in their community by providing trained and vetted volunteers to help with such services as companionship, medical and grocery transportation, check-in phone calls, help with simple electronics and help with light chores.

As a SIV program, Kiawah River Estates (KRE) is gathering its own cadre of KRE residents to serve as volunteers to provide these services in the KRE community.

We Welcome New Members

Your $200 annual membership fee (or $90 short term membership for 3 months) entitles you to:

Transportation - to medical appointments, grocery shopping, local pharmacy, etc.
Basic home chores and maintenance - such as changing lightbulbs and air filters, taking out trash and recycling.
Companionship visits - to provide social contact for housebound members.
Caregiver relief visits - to give the caregiver an opportunity to leave the home.
Reassuring calls - to check well-being.
