Hospital stays, no matter the length, can be boring, stressful, and scary, especially when you’re not feeling well or alone. That's why Starlight Toy Deliveries exist.
Every year, Starlight Toy Deliveries sends hundreds of thousands of books, toys, games, arts & crafts, and other items directly to hospitalized kids. Thanks to the generosity of our corporate partners like Disney, Radio Flyer, WowWee, and others, we’re able to deliver these products at no cost to our network of more than 800 hospitals across the US.
Each children's hospital is able to order exactly what they need, exactly when they need it, and in exactly the amount they want. Our custom, easy-to-use, and secure e-commerce platform makes it simple and fun to request Starlight Toy Deliveries.
“Bringing happiness to our pediatric patients through comfort gifts often reduces their fear of being in a medical environment and helps them be more receptive to necessary medical treatment.”
- Pat Kirkland, Manager, Family Support Services, Wolfson Children’s Hospital
