Everyone knows the real magic of the holidays happens when you’re giving back and helping others. Each year, children and families spend their holidays receiving care at CHoR, but thanks to the expertise of our child life team and generosity of the community, they still enjoy the spirit of the season.
The child life team at CHoR includes 13 specialists trained in helping kids and families adjust and thrive in the hospital setting. There are several ways you can support them this holiday season, from providing in-demand, brand-new toys to donating funds.
December 16, 3 - 7 p.m.
December 18, 1 - 5 p.m.
December 19, 11 a.m. - 3 p.m.
“Even with updated guidelines, there are still so many creative and meaningful ways to give back and make this holiday season as special as possible for children and their families receiving care at CHoR,” said Emily Toalson with Children’s Hospital Foundation. “Every donation makes a difference, and we encourage you to consider helping us spread the holiday joy through one of our many ways to give.”
Child life accepts all new toys and items from brands like Fisher Price, Little People, Playskool, Oball or Melissa and Doug. We’re unable to accept used items, religious or political items, violent toys (i.e. Nerf guns), dollar store items or holiday themed items.
The holiday season should be a magical time, no matter where or how you celebrate.
