When a child is admitted to the hospital, parents and families deal with enormous stress and strain. If an admission happens during the holiday season, the stress can be even greater.

St. Luke's Children's Toy Box relies solely on items donated from the community. We arrange the toys and gift items into a shopping area complete with holiday decorations and music. Parents with a child in the hospital are invited to shop free of charge in Santa's Toy Box for every child in the family. 

We accept donations of new toys, books, electronics, art supplies, wrapping paper, gift bags and supplies, and gift cards for all ages. 

 

Donation Guidelines

All donations must be newly purchased and unwrapped. We cannot accept used items or items purchased long ago (even if they have never been used).

Please call (208) 381-2822 or send us an email to schedule your drop-off. 

 

Individual Donations

• December 12-19, 2025 (excluding Sunday, Dec. 14) from 10 am-4 pm at St. Luke's Children's Pavilion in Boise
• If you have a larger donation, please reach out to the contacts to coordinate a drop-off time
• We are always in need of teen and infant items!

Sometimes we receive requests from individuals wishing to hand out gifts directly to our patients. Unfortunately, we are unable to accommodate these requests, as it is important for us to protect our patients’ privacy, prevent the spread of infection, and maintain a calm and healing environment.
