Giving and volunteering at Children's Hospital in the Fox Valley

Ways to give

Toys, games and art supplies. These donations are an important part of how we care for kids. Toys, games and art projects help children pass the time and reduce fear and anxiety.  

We currently accept delivery of donations during the following times: 

Mon. - Fri., 8:30 a.m.-4:30 p.m.

Please bring your donation to the 4th floor of Children's Hospital of Wisconsin's Fox Valley hospital.

Questions? Please call our Donation Hotline at (920) 969-5355.

Financial gifts. Gifts to the Children's Hospital and Health System Foundation support the many programs and services for children and families provided in the Fox Valley and statewide through our member organizations. Your donation can support patient care programs, professional and community education, advocacy for the health and safety of children and pediatric research.

Ways to volunteer

Volunteer at the hospital. Our volunteers create a special partnership with staff and play an important role in our commitment to children.

Volunteers must be at least 16 years old and willing to work at least two hours per week. We ask for a commitment of at least six months for adults and one semester for students.

Group volunteering. Although we are unable to accommodate group projects with direct patient contact, we have many other creative ways to help the children during their hospitalization. Please contact our Donation Hotline for ideas.

Volunteer in the community. Through Children's Hospital and Health System Foundation there are many opportunities for people who want to help but cannot make the ongoing commitment required for the hospital. Volunteers are needed to stuff mailings, package materials, speak to groups and share personal stories of care received through Children's and help staff fundraising events. To register as a volunteer for events in the community, please call (920) 831-6400. 

Students and service learners. High school and college students can give back to their communities through our volunteer opportunities. Note: Summer applications are accepted January through April. Applications need to be received at least 30 days before your intended start date. Please note on your application under availability if you would like to volunteer for the summer months only.
