Toys are a surefire way to bring a smile to any child’s face, be it a Barbie doll, a set of LEGOs, a favorite board game or a rainbow array of sidewalk chalk. And it’s even more so when they’re spending time at the hospital, which is why toy donations are such an important aspect of Wolfson Children’s Hospital.
While toy donations tend to be abundant during the holiday season, they do dwindle during the summer months, despite the need for them year-round. The good news? You don’t have to hold off until December to help fill Santa’s sleigh because Wolfson Children’s Hospital is celebrating Christmas in July! Throughout the month of July, Child Life specialists will be collecting new, unwrapped toys, art supplies, and financial donations for Wolfson Children’s patients, and there are four easy ways to donate:
Donate online. It only takes a few minutes to make a tax-deductible gift — click here to donate.
Join the cause. Spread the word to your network of friends and family with a personal online fundraising page. Visit Christmas in July to learn how easy it is.
Shop Amazon. There is an Amazon registry on Wolfson’s Christmas in July filled with toys specially selected by our Child Life team so you can easily make a purchase and have the item shipped directly to Wolfson Children’s. In addition to toys and other supplies, the registry also features gift cards for purchase, which our team uses as rewards for teens and helpful support for patient families.
Bring in a new toy. Handpick a personal childhood favorite and drop it off! The best toy donations are those that don’t require a lot of energy and can be played with in bed, such as infant toys, toddler toys, LEGOs, card games, and more. Through July 29, you can drop new, unwrapped toys off at Subaru of Jacksonville, located at 1717 St Johns Bluff Rd S.
