ALTOONA, Pa. — Students in Penn State Altoona’s biology club and biology honors society delivered 39 boxes filled with toys and games to UPMC Altoona at the end of the fall semester.
Jared Box Project boxes are filled with the “gift of play” and given to young patients in emergency rooms, hospital rooms, surgical centers and clinics. Each box contains small gifts, toys, games, crayons, coloring books, and fun activities designed to help bring children comfort.
Biology club and honors society students asked faculty, staff, and their peers for donations to fill the boxes.
