Make a Difference: Toy Donations for Shriners Children’s Greenville

At Shriners Children's Greenville, toys and games are more than just entertainment - they are tools that bring comfort, healing and joy to our patients and their families during their hospital journey.

Our hospital departments carefully select toys, games and essential items best suited for each patient's unique needs. To ensure the safety and well-being of our patients, we follow strict infection control policies and can only accept new items - no collections, stored items or previously used toys.

If you have any questions, please contact Jennifer Taylor at [email protected].
