UC Davis Children’s Hospital
UC Davis Children’s Hospital is accepting donations that’ll brighten patients’ days over Easter weekend. The hospital’s Creative Arts Therapy Department is asking the public to donate treats, toys and pastime activities, so hospital staff can craft personalized Easter baskets for pediatric patients.
“We hope we can bring some cheer to our patients and their families who are spending Easter in the hospital,” said Katherine MacDonald, programming coordinator in the UC Davis Child Life and Creative Arts Therapy Department. “We would love to provide them with the tradition of Easter baskets.”
Donations need to be dropped off by Thursday, April 14, so it’s important to mail your items as soon as possible. Drop-off deliveries can be made in person as well. Staff will accept the deliveries and distribute them to patients in accordance with “hospital infection control policies.”
If you’re afraid your donation won’t make it to the Sacramento hospital in time for Easter, UC Davis has published an Easter basket Amazon wish list where people can purchase gifts for patients, which will be shipped directly to the hospital.
