We are grateful for your willingness to give to the children we serve at Hasbro Children's. We appreciate your flexibility in helping us provide the very best items for our patients.
Please consider making a monetary donation to the Child Life Fund at Hasbro Children’s – an easy way to contribute if you are busy. We use these donations to directly impact our patients and families. The funds are used to provide gifts, playroom and bedside toys and activity supplies, and to support our year-round programming.
To donate online, be sure type in "Child Life Fund" in the "Comments" section when making a donation on our online form.
Hasbro Children's is grateful to our community for all of the support we receive year round.
For 2025 holiday donations please drop off during the following days and times:
We are extremely grateful for gifts to benefit our children and families; however, we do have some guidelines on what we are able to accept for the hospital environment. For infection control and the safety of our patients, we are only able to accept donations that are new and recently purchased. Unfortunately, we cannot accept gently used or previously owned items. This includes toys, stuffed animals, magazines, electronics, clothing, and furniture.
These guidelines have been developed in collaboration with our infection control team. We cannot accept items that fall outside these guidelines. Items that are dropped off and do not meet our donation guidelines and acceptance criteria will be donated to other community agencies or disposed of as appropriate.
We can accept only donations of brand new toys and activities in original packaging. Due to our patients’ fragile immune systems, we cannot accept gently used or previously owned toys, games, and stuffed animals. Please note that we cannot accept soft toys that have been in someone's possession (collection, storage, display, etc.), even if they've never been played with.
We also have Amazon wish lists; please visit our Amazon wish list page to see some of our high needs items, specially picked to meet the needs of Hasbro Children’s patient. During the holiday season, you can choose to ship your gift to the hospital or drop it off in person on our posted drop off dates so we can thank you in person.

Books are an important part of the hospital experience for our patients and families at Hasbro Children’s. Books can be used in a variety of ways such as in unit playrooms, outpatient clinics, and patient rooms for entertainment and learning opportunities.
We are happy to accept donations of new books. Books that are beneficial for the hospital environment include board books, hardcover or softcover picture books, fiction, and nonfiction, published within the last two years.
We cannot accept books that have inscriptions, damage, strong odors, or “touch and feel” fabrics like felt or fur.
We cannot accept any food products, dietary supplements, or beverages. This includes unopened food such as candy, baked goods, and food meant for display, such as gingerbread houses.
We cannot accept any televisions, gaming systems, laptops or other electronic devices at this time.
Due to infection prevention and control policies, we are not able to accept homemade items such as toys and crafts. This includes cards, signs, notes, and personal letters. The only exceptions are the items below.
We can accept homemade blankets and pillowcases. Items must be washed after being made and then individually bagged to keep them clean. They must be free of any fragrance, musty odors, smoke, and food smells. Please contact the donations coordinator when planning a donation of this kind because these items cannot be stored and will need to be given to patients as they are received. The donation coordinator will be able to help you time your intended donation.
