Toy Drive and Thanksgiving Thankful Thursday

It is time for our annual toy drive! Please see the photo below for details. In past years, we would donate them in person (and in costume!), but because of the pandemic, both Elmhurst and UPMC are not permitting in person visits.

If you would like to select toys off of UPMC’s list to be donated, please visit https://www.chp.edu/our-services/child-life/toy-donations and the toys will be delivered directly to the hospital. 

If you would like to select toys off of Elmhurst’s list to be donated, please visit https://www.amazon.com/registries/holiday/27PTJIUOC06JB/guest-view and the toys will be delivered directly to the hospital.

In both instances, please indicate that the donation is in memory of Meredith Farrell.

If you prefer, we will also accept new, unwrapped toys, that we can drive over to Elmhurst and deliver to Child Life to distribute.

And with that, our Thanksgiving Thankful Thursdays:
