What can I do? Sign up now to join our community of volunteers.

South Coastal Village Volunteers brings together neighbors helping neighbors in a community of support. As we grow older, we can age in place and continue to live independently in our homes and communities.

SCVV coordinates volunteers to assist members with services such as transportation to various appointments and shopping, home visits, telephone check-ins, running errands, technology support and small household tasks. Currently we serve residents within the ZIP codes of Bethany Beach, Millville, Ocean View and South Bethany by providing volunteers for support, services and social interaction to enhance the lives of our members.
