During the holiday season each year, we receive many in-kind gifts of toys, activities and other much-appreciated donations that are most helpful to our patients and families. We’re grateful for the outpouring of generosity and support!
To help you, we have created some recommendations to best guide your giving to Children’s Minnesota this holiday season.
Holiday giving tips
- Due to the amount of donations we receive, Children’s Minnesota kindly requests all donations be dropped off on or before Tuesday, Dec. 20.
