STATE COLLEGE — Penn State Federal Credit Union is spreading cheer to hospitalized children with a recent $1,000 donation to The Jared Box Project.
The Jared Box Project is an effort to bring joy to kids in the hospital with its boxes containing toys, crayons, coloring books, games and more fun activities. According to a press release from The Jared Box Project, PSFCU has routinely supported nonprofits aiming to better the community.
“The Penn State Federal family is happy to partner with The Jared Box Project,” Cheryl Barr, CEO of PSFCU, said. “Our donation will help support the everyday efforts of the project. It’s a wonderful feeling to know that the boxes will be part of lifting a child’s spirits during a hospital stay or treatment.”
The Jared Box Project was founded in State College, but its impact has started to reach nationwide, with over a million Jared Boxes delivered to kids in all 50 states.
Thanks to the $1,000 donation from PSFCU, Jared Boxes will be provided to local facilities such as Mount Nittany Health, Penn Highlands State College, Geisinger Surgical Center, MED Express and Centre Volunteers in Medicine.
“We are so very thankful for the generous support of PSFCU. They have been supporters for years,” Cindy Kolarik, the executive director of The Jared Box Project, said. “This generous donation allows us to continue to make Jared Boxes for children in our local medical facilities. Neighbors helping neighbors — it doesn’t get any better than that.”
