Jared Box Book Drive

Over the years, the Bellefonte READS Committee has organized several book drives to benefit The Jared Box Project. The goal of the Jared Box Project is to lift the spirits of children in the hospital. The organization creates boxes filled with fun items that are given to young patients in emergency rooms, hospital rooms, surgical centers, and clinics. 

The books donated via our book drives are added to Jared Boxes. This ensures that our local children have access to books to read while in a medical facility. Community members can donate books by dropping them off at any of our BASD school buildings, or purchase them directly from our Amazon Wishlist. Over the years, we've donated 500+ new books to the Jared Box Project. See below for pictures and articles about this initiative.
