Wish list of toys and items
By donating these materials to Children’s Minnesota, you are giving patients the opportunity to play and have fun while they are in the hospital. Look for the iPads at the Welcome Desk, complete the in-kind form on the iPad when you drop off your donation. Parking in the visitor ramps is free for the first 20 minutes.
NOTE: Because of allergy and immunity concerns among patients, Children’s Minnesota is only able to accept new items with the tags still attached. We are also unable to accept items that contain information identifying past or present patients, including, but not limited to, patient’s first and last name, birth date, photo(s) and story or care experience.
