Program Description

Event Details

We invite volunteers to help create cheerful gift boxes filled with small treasures, books, and activities for children receiving care at UPMC Western Maryland. Each Jared Box is a simple yet powerful way to bring joy, laughter, and the love of reading to young patients facing tough days.

Participants will assemble boxes designed to brighten hospital stays and remind children that they are cared for by their community. All materials will be provided, and volunteers of all ages are encouraged to take part in this meaningful act of kindness.

Come help us make a difference, one box, one story, and one smile at a time.
