Give a Special Gift
Playing with toys has the ability to bring smiles to the faces of children and adults alike. Donating a toy to Cincinnati Children's is one way to bring cheer to a sick child's day. See a list of suggestions to get ideas for items to donate to Cincinnati Children's.
Spending time in the hospital can be difficult for children and their families; special toys and activities help to make their hospital experience less stressful. Families across the United States rely on Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center for excellence in pediatric health care. These same families rely on people like you for support.
Cincinnati Children's needs toys, crafts and other items year-round for children from infancy through age 18. Gifts of products or excess inventory can usually be used throughout the hospital.
For the safety and welfare of our patients, all donated items must be new and unwrapped.
When selecting gifts, please refer to the Cincinnati Children's list of suggested items and safety guidelines. Please feel free to contact the Department of Development for more information.
