Step By Step: How to Participate
Every child deserves a toy on Christmas and we wouldn’t be heroes if we didn’t make that happen. Your help is needed across the country and its easy to do. Here’s how:
- Read what the kids need on this page
- Contact Citizen Prime and let him know what you can donate
- Coordinate a place and time of your choosing to drop off the gifts.
- Check the website for pictures of the kids after Christmas.
Most importantly, tell us how you’d like to help! We’re always happy to have Citizen Heroes, like yourself, assist in the Toy Drop. Let us know what you’d like to do and we’ll help you be the best hero you can.
Toy Drop Guidelines
Due to hospital regulations, we have to abide by the following guidelines to get the toys in kids hands:
- All gifts must be new and unwrapped.
- Donations need to be received by Dec. 12,.
- Hospital volunteers will wrap the gifts. Nice, huh?
- Access may be restricted to protect the patients health in the winter months.
Wish List
We are in need of items in all age groups. We are most in need of items listed under “Infants,” “Toddlers,” and “Adolescents” as well as gift cards, holiday wrapping paper, tape, and ribbons. The most requested items for each age group are in bold. I goes without saying that we greatly appreciate every donation.
