Today’s opportunity is for Creative heARTS volunteers at White Plains Hospital.

Creative heARTS is a program at White Plains Hospital that utilizes the artistic talents of volunteers and community members in order to engage with hospital patients and staff in a meaningful way. Volunteers are asked to create and donate handmade items—such as origami, jewelry, small pictures and paintings, poetry, knitted or crocheted items, and greeting cards—for distribution to patients in the Center for Cancer Care, staff throughout the healthcare system, and to the hospital's gift shop locations.
