Print Jared Box Project Explanation cards. Cards can be printed on any 8½" x 11" computer paper. Cut out and place one card in each box.

Personalize: Write a note or draw a picture, and sign your first name. You can make this out of construction paper or use a notecard. Place the card in the box. -
Deliver: Refer to our
Hospital Directory to choose a hospital to receive your Jared Boxes. If you'd like to send your boxes to a hospital not on the list, you may call them directly. A Child Life Department usually handles donations.

Send the Jared Box project an email
to let us know how many boxes you made and to what hospital you are
delivering them. We'd love to receive stories about your
project, suggestions and/or pictures too.
