Christmas gift donations for Monash Children’s Hospital patients

With Christmas rapidly approaching, the Monash Health Foundation is seeking donations of presents for patients who will be in Monash Children’s Hospital on Christmas Day.  Donations of brand new gifts (unwrapped) for children and young people from 0-18 are very welcome, as are rolls of wrapping paper.

While we welcome offers of gifts, there are some general guidelines.  Presents should be brand new, unwrapped and not food.  Monash Health will also decline offers of toy guns or toy weapons.

For suggestions about what kinds of gifts suit different aged children please view the guidelines below.

Teenagers are often forgotten, so please keep in them in mind.  Gifts appropriate for adolescents include card games like Uno, craft kits, model-making kits, books, jigsaws, board games, good quality drawing materials, journals, art pastels and vouchers such as for sports stores, shopping centres or the movies.

The Monash Health Foundation is also pleased to accept donations of rolls of wrapping paper.

Please deliver gifts or wrapping paper by Wednesday 16 December to:

Monash Health Foundation
Monash Medical Centre
Level 2, 246 Clayton Road
CLAYTON  VIC  3168

For more information please contact the Monash Health Foundation on foundation@monashhealth.org or 9594 2700.
