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.
