Do you want to change the life of a child and help grant wishes to children with life-threatening medical conditions? Well, you are in luck. The Make-A-Wish Foundation® of the Mid-South is holding a volunteer training session in the Fort Smith area for anyone interested in becoming a Wish Granter.

Wish Granters are the volunteers who represent the Foundation and are the liaisons between the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the wish family. Wish Granter, Brandi Cook, from Centerton, AR has loved the opportunity to be a wish granter and to be able to work with wish families, staff members, and volunteers. She said she is “so blessed to be given the opportunity to know them.”  Just like Brandi, you could have the opportunity to meet knew people and help change children’s lives.

If interested in attending, please contact Mallory Roulston at (501) 492-7274 or mroulston@midsouth.wish.org.
