We are grateful to our donors who have provided toys for our hospital patients over the years and for continuing to bring smiles to the children receiving care here. This year, our Children’s Health Centre team has put together a wish list that will best help our youngest patients.
A QUICK REMINDER:
- All donations must be NEW and UNWRAPPED
- We are not able to accept stuffed animals, large items, action figures with violent themes or weapons including Nerf guns, remote controlled cars or trucks, or wooden toys
- Please purchase brand name toys as they last longer and are easier to clean
