Purchase a $1 Heart for the Arts
City Market and Burlington City Arts have teamed up again to provide art supplies to children. Purchase a heart for $1 at the register now through Feb. 14th. 100% of the proceeds will benefit Art From the Heart, a Burlington City Arts community program that brings art supplies and volunteers to Vermont Children’s Hospital seven days a week.
Art From the Heart helps children on the pediatric ward heal and grow by providing them with the space, time, and materials to experience the joys of painting and creative work. Many of these children are seriously ill, some terminally. Some are away from their home and school environments for weeklong medical treatments each month. The children, their families, and the hospital staff value the program, which helps relieve stress, not only for the children involved, but also for parents and siblings who often participate in the arts activities.
To learn more about Art From the Heart program and opportunities to volunteer, please visit www.burlingtoncityarts.com or call Melissa Stiebert at 865-9163. Purchase a $1 heart today to help a child tomorrow.
