Neve Trumpter, a resident of South Kilbourne, said she has been working to get a mini–grant for the neighborhood. The mini–grant allows the city of Columbia to match the money that the South Kilbourne community raises. The money will fund welcome signs for the neighborhood and future projects. Dr. Belinda Gergel has offered to donate $1000 for the project.

Sara St. George and Kyle Craig, representatives of Healthy Palmetto and the Palmetto Health Hospital, want to begin walking groups, both large and small, and an education session about healthy eating.
