AmeriCorps VISTA members will assist 3rd grade students at Arden Elementary School (Columbia, SC) in creating get well cards for children in Palmetto Health's Children's Hospital. Card making will take place the week prior to MLK Day, however, the cards will be personally delivered by VISTAs that day. This project unfortunately is open to AmeriCorps VISTA Members only. If you're interested in volunteering on MLK Day feel more than free to check out the opportunities at the United Way of the Midlands Volunteer Center, http://www.uway.org/volunteer/.
