HONESDALE, PA – Wayne Memorial Hospital’s (WMH) stock of Jared Boxes has been replenished thanks to the generosity of two local organizations. The Wayne Highlands (WH) Pop-Up Club at the Cooperage Project with 24 boxes and Wayne County Business and Professional Women (WCBPW) with 40 boxes, made the donation on Thursday February 5^th. The activity boxes are provided to young patients and their parents at WMH during potentially stressful days, offering some comfort and entertainment. 

Referred to as “the gift of play,” the boxes are named after Jared McMullen of Centre County who was diagnosed with an incurable brain tumor in 1999 and died the following year. He always carried a backpack with games and toys to his appointments and shared them with other children. To learn more about Jared Boxes, go to www.TheJaredBoxProject.com.
