Gift Shop

Overview

The more you shop, the more we give. All proceeds benefit Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center.

Unique findings, friendly conversation and warm smiles await children and adults in the Gift Shop at Cincinnati Children's Hospital Medical Center. Visitors can choose from the latest in children's merchandise, gifts and personal items carefully hand-selected by a volunteer staff.

Operated by the Junior Co-operative Society since 1920, the Gift Shop graciously donates all earnings back to Cincinnati Children's. The Division of Infectious Disease at Cincinnati Children's was given over $1 million dollars during a 17-year period, and in 2001, a $500,000 donation to the Endocrinology Division was completed.

As their next donation, the Gift Shop has pledged to donate $500,000 over three years to research in Developmental Neurobiology. In addition, the Junior Co-ops donate during the year each year to research projects, pastoral requests and areas of need that are presented to the group.

The exceptional staff is always happy to go above and beyond customer expectations. The volunteers annually donate over 10,000 work hours to assist visitors in the Gift Shop, select merchandise and perform administrative duties.
