Things You Need to Know
- Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital at Westchester Medical Center is non-denominational, we ask all donors to respect the beliefs of our patients by not including religious gifts.
- For infection control and safety reasons, we are unable to accept toys that represent violence; toys made of glass, wood or brittle plastic, latex balloons. We are only able to accept brand new toys. This includes stuffed animals that have not been played with but have been displayed or on shelves at home.
