There are a number of ways you can be a part of holiday giving at YNHH or YNHCH:
— Make a monetary donation
— Donate items located on the Wish List
Please do not wrap the item because we need to check the gifts for safety and age appropriateness. Again, all donated items must be new and unwrapped.
All donations are delivered to the appropriate unit within the hospital and patients. Your Wish List donation will provide a patient with a gift as well as help to make their hospital experience less stressful throughout the holiday season.
All tax deductions are based upon the donation, either monetary or from the Wish List. Please be sure to fill out the Donation Form to ensure we have the correct information for the donation as well as your personal or corporate information. All completed donation forms submitted to the Office of Development will result in a written acknowledgement to the supplied name and address.
To arrange for a date and time when you may bring your donation to the hospital, or if you should have any questions, please contact the Office of Development at 203.688.6437, or by email at giving@ynhh.org.
We are unable to allow donors to deliver gifts directly to patients due to issues regarding patient confidentiality, infection control and security. Please know that our patients and staff are grateful for your generosity during their stay at Yale-New Haven Hospital.
For health and safety reasons, we can not accept used toys or used stuffed animals. Following infection control guidelines within the hospital is critical, so to protect patients we can only accept new items.
Unfortunately, we do not accept food/drink donations. Many of our patients have special dietary restrictions. We thank you for considering this idea and hope you will consider donating a Wish List item or making a monetary donation.
