The Best Way To Get These Items
Set Up A Donation Box
Donation boxes are large cardboard boxes that can be set in many public spaces with a list of needed items and the cause. This can be downloaded and printed at the bottom of the page. The easiest places to put these boxes are libraries, schools, community centers, and places of worship or religion. However many grocery or retail stores will accept your donation boxes if asked. Always remember to check with the owner of your chosen location before putting a box there.
The Dollar Tree
The Dollar Tree is where I have been going to get these supplies for years. It has everything you need and for a low price.

Bags for Children in the Hospital
Hope in every bag
At our organization, we create special bags for children facing challenges in the hospital. Each bag is thoughtfully sorted by age groups (3-6, -10, and 11-) ensuring that every child receives that resonate with them. These bags are designed to bring a sense of hope and comfort, filled with toys, books, and personal touches that make their hospital experience a little brighter. Our mission is to uplift young hearts during their tough times, reminding them that they are not alone.

Hospital Donation Regulations
Hospitals have many regulations on what can be donated, especially to children. Please be sure to check with your specific hospital on their rules.
Common Regulations
No Choking Hazards
This regulation makes the 3-5 year old bags difficult. Be sure to check every toy given and look for a warning label and age limit.
No Used Toys
All toys must be new, clean, and sanitized. This ensures safety for the kids and the hospital.
No Food, Medications, or Scented items
These items are dangerous for children in hospitals. Typically they are on a diet and strict medications. Additionally scented items can cause allergies and unexpected reactions.
