Holiday Toy Drive
December 5, 2020
Although it may look and feel different, the annual Toy Drive will be taking place again this year on Saturday, December 5 from 9 a.m. – 1 p.m.
Due to COVID-19, there are several changes and safety procedures in place this year. Safety remains a top priority at Nationwide Children’s Hospital for our patients, families, staff, and donors.
In order to make a toy donation, donors must reserve a time for drop off. The gift of toys and games will certainly bring joy to our patients and families this holiday season! We are so grateful for our generous and thoughtful community members.

About the Foundation
In 1892, a group of citizens held a sale to raise money for the care of sick, impoverished children. That effort led to the opening of Nationwide Children’s Hospital in 1894. For more than a century, we have existed to care for every child, for every reason.
The Foundation is the fundraising arm of Nationwide Children’s. Our job – with your help – is to ensure much needed funds are available for innovative research, emerging trends in pediatric health, and to react to our ever changing world. Philanthropy ensures that we can dream big.
Over 100 years… That is how long charity, donations, and generosity have enabled us to help children. With your help, we can add another century to our distinguished history.
The Nationwide Children's Foundation serves to further the mission of Nationwide Children's Hospital while meeting donor philanthropic goals. Nationwide Children's Hospital is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization (EIN: 31-1036370)
