Thanks so much for wanting to help hospitalized kids!
We make sure that birthdays and holidays are celebrated for all of our pediatric patients, as well as difficult days rewarded with a special gift. Please use our current wish list to choose your donations.
Please keep to the items in the list. They are items most often wanted by our children, and enable us to make sure each child gets the gift they want. Our wish list also helps us to save items for future children we will meet. For larger community toy drives that do not follow our list, we will need you to limit your donation to three bags or boxes in total.
Please know that because all children are entitled to their rest and privacy, we cannot allow our donors to give gifts directly to children.
We accept donations by appointment in the lobby of the children's hospital. If you plan on donating in the month of December please reach out before your collection is complete, as appointments are already being booked at this time. Please reach out to joan.alpers@stonybrookmedicine.edu for appointment queries or with any questions you might have.
