We know how passionate our community is about giving back. Your generosity has allowed our patients to receive special gifts during the holidays to help make their stays a little happier. This virtual toy drive helps make giving easier for our community while we continue to limit visitors in our building.  We see more patients now than ever before and that means we need your help! 

We invite you to support our Virtual Toy Drive event, allowing donors to give without leaving their homes, and allowing our Child Life team to cater to individual patient needs, both during the holiday season and beyond.

There are many ways to help:

1. Make an individual online donation - Our top choice!
   Help support the purchase of toys for our patients. Gather your friends, colleagues or family members to form a fundraising team and raise money as a group to help our Child Life Department purchase toys for our patients

2. Purchase items for our patients from our Amazon Wish List

3. Limited-time In-Person Toy Donation Drop Offs

1. We will only accept toy donations during a limited time, between Dec. 5th through December 16th
2. Donations will be accepted at the doors to our main entrance (directional signage will be posted).  Only small donations (no more than one trunk-full of items) can be dropped off during these times.  Larger group donations must be scheduled in advance, before Dec. 1.
3. Donors will not be allowed to enter the hospital building to drop off toy donations.
4. Please shop from the 2022 Holiday Wish List here. Please note: All donations must be new in original packaging/with tags. We cannot accept used toys or stuffed animals, any items that are breakable, sharp or contain latex, or food or candy. And lastly, please do not gift wrap toys; however, we are happy to receive donations of wrapping supplies along with the toys!
   

Thank you again for helping to brighten days of the children and families we serve at Nemours Children's Hospital. While our Virtual Toy Drive is a big change from our normal holiday donation process, your support of our kids is extremely meaningful to us – especially now.
