Ideas for Organizing your Jared Box Project:

Here are two common ways in which most Jared Box Projects are organized.  Use your imagination.  You may have another idea that works just as well.

1.  Have members bring toys, games and other Jared Box supplies to a meeting.  Separate the toys by age and have the group fill the boxes.

2.  Give an empty box to each member.  Have them purchase items, fill their boxes at home and return to the next meeting.
