General Info: Volunteer Services of the Children's Hospital accepts donations of toys and supplies from individuals and groups to supplement the activities and entertainment provided to children. When considering donating toys or items, please keep in mind that our patients range in age from newborns to teens; we especially need items for teens and babies. Donations may be brought to the hospital during weekday office hours; we prefer that holiday donations arrive between Thanksgiving and the week before Christmas.
