Toy Program Wish List
Thank you so much for considering our Wish List. We truly appreciate your generosity. We appreciate financial donations of any size, because they allow us to offer enriching activities for our patients and families.
To make a financial donation, make checks payable to Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation (designate "Child Life Department Toy Fund") and send to:
Seattle Children’s Hospital Foundation

Seattle, WA 98145-5005
Or you can use our secure donation form to make a direct donation to our Toy Program. Simply choose Toys in the "Please Direct My Donation" box.
If you would like to donate new toys directly to the hospital, please bring them to our Volunteer Office at the Main Giraffe entrance at:

Restrictions
For safety and infection control reasons, please donate only new items that are washable, nontoxic and not easily broken.
- Please, no large metal trucks or toys.
- Please do not wrap donations.
- We are unable to accept toys that represent violence.
We make every effort to maximize the donations we receive from our donors. Occasionally we receive toys that may not be appropriate for use in the hospital or pose potential health concerns for our patients. These toys are either given directly to our retail division to benefit Seattle Children’s or donated to other worthy local charities that support the wellbeing of children.
