CHOC is grateful for the support of our community, especially during the holiday season as people wish to remember our patients and families. Our annual holiday toy drive will be held Saturday, Dec. 19 from 8 a.m. – 3 p.m. in our employee parking structure, located at 557 South Main Street, Orange, CA 92868. We are unable to accept donations in the main hospital lobby.
Due to limited storage space, the donation of gift cards is encouraged. This enables our trained child life specialists to purchase toys and craft supplies based on the developmental age and gender of our current patients. Gift cards to stores such as Target, Toys “R” Us, Babies “R” Us, Walmart, Michaels, Barnes & Noble, and Visa/MasterCard gift cards are greatly appreciated.
Those wishing to donate toys can refer to our Wish List to choose from the items we find the most appropriate and popular with CHOC’s diverse patient and family population. We are always in need of more activities for our teen population.
Community members unable to participate in the toy drive but interested in donating can log on to www.amazon.com and search for the “Children’s Hospital of Orange County” wish list. Donations will be shipped directly to CHOC.
Please note that we are unable to accept the following items:
- Stuffed animals
- Handmade blankets, hats, socks, etc.
- Get well cards
- Big items: bikes, skate boards, etc.
- VHS tapes
- Used toys
- Clothing
- Promotional items with company logos
For more information, please call 714-509-4519.
Thank you for your continued support of CHOC Children’s!
