Christmas in July Toy Drive

When: At your convenience
Where: Children's Hospital at Erlanger, 975 E. Third St.
Cost: Cost of item donated

Children’s Hospital at Erlanger is hosting a Christmas in July Toy Drive throughout the entire month of July. When a child has to stay at the hospital, it can be scary and overwhelming. The Child Life Specialist’s job is to help comfort and ease your child as best possible while they receive care. This can include music, ipad, bubbles, and toys to play with. Our Marketing & Administration Assistant, Anna, knows first hand how important a Child Life Specialist’s role is as her son has special needs and now visits the hospital on a monthly basis for treatments. The toy drive is to collect toys, games, clothing, etc for children who have to stay at the hospital or visit for treatments to minimize stress and anxiety as best possible. Check out the wishlist here! They’ve even made donating super simple with a drop off bin located out the Children’s Emergency Room entrance.
