About this Opportunity

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.

To volunteer:

  • Express interest below to alert the volunteer coordinator of your interest
  • Be prepared with an idea of what you would like to create and donate. Please specify if you would like your items to be distributed to patients, staff, the gift shops, or wherever it's needed most (items would then be distributed by White Plains Hospital staff accordingly)
  • When your items are made and ready to be donated, they can be dropped off any time to the front desk reception area of White Plains Hospital labelled with your name and destination, along with amount of time spent in creating your art or crafts so you can receive credit for your service hours
