Jared Boxes
The goal of the Jared Box Project is to lift the spirits of chronically ill children. The boxes symbolize the importance of play and are filled with well wishes, hope, and love.
A Jared Box is a shoebox size plastic storage box filled with small gifts, toys, cards, and games. Each box contains items selected for a specific age and gender. The boxes are delivered to hospitals and are given to chronically ill children. The Jared Boxes provide a special diversion for young patients as they receive chemotherapy and other medical treatments.
Pat Fountain of Gamma Iota brought this project to our chapter and to chapters throughout Chi State. Gamma Iota Chapter has created and delivered over 1000 Jared Boxes to local hospitals.
