UNM Children’s Hospital Wish List
Many donors wish to give something that can help the children who are being treated at UNM Children’s Hospitals. To help donors select toys that are most needed we have provided a “wish list” of items. We are always in need of new, unwrapped toys for children of all ages – from infant to 18 years old. The items in bold are the most needed or requested by patients and families.
You may drop off toys at one of the hospital’s information desks at the following times:
Monday through Friday: 8:00am – 7:00pm
Weekends: 9:00am – 3:00pm
Information desks are located in the main entrance of the Barbara & Bill Richardson Pavilion, and in the main entrance of the old part of the hospital. Please do not bring donated toys to the UNM Foundation offices.
Thank you for your generosity!
If you have any questions about donating toys for UNM Children’s Hospitals, please contact Lauren Kenig, Program Director of Children’s Miracle Network, at (505) 272-7393 or Lauren.Kenig@box5584.temp.domains.
