AMHERST – Amherst Girl Scout Brownie Troop 11607 recently participated in The Jared Box Project.

The goal of the project is to lift the spirits of chronically ill children. The boxes symbolize the importance of play and are filled with well wishes, hope and love.

The troop put the boxes together and delivered them to the Pediatric Unit at Southern New Hampshire Medical Center in Nashua.
