How You Can Help The Children’s Hospital

Virtual Toy Drive 

Make a difference for a child at Children's Hospital of Greenville Health System (GHS) by purchasing any one of the items you see featured in our Virtual Toy Drive. All items have been identified by Children's Hospital staff as needed to help us in our efforts to go beyond providing traditional medical care. As a donor, you select and pay for an item and we take care of securing and distributing the item. Any item(s) you select are needed and very much appreciated. Thank you for taking the time to participate in the Virtual Toy Drive and for helping to make a difference!
