Gifts of toys and other items
In keeping with our family-centered focus, Randall Children's Hospital at Legacy Emanuel aims to keep children comfortable and relaxed while they are patients in the hospital. Kids who are hospitalized receive toys, books or craft projects and are encouraged to participate in other activities to lift their spirits. We need a lot of toys! Donations are always welcome to help replenish our stock.
