Help Stock the Pediatric Toy Box at Saint Vincent Hospital

Here at Townsquare Media, Billings, we've been longtime supporters of the pediatric department at St. Vincent Intermountain Health. Each spring, we participate in the St. V's Call for Kids, helping raise thousands of local dollars for the NICU and PICU departments.

However, we're not waiting until spring to share another way you can help. As the holiday season approaches, the folks at St V's Pediatrics are hoping to fill its Toy Box. This annual toy drive helps replenish its stock for the entire year.

It's incredibly easy to gift a toy to St. V's Pediatrics

These toys are used to help young patients feel more comfortable during their hospital stays. From active toddlers to bored teenagers, none of these kids choose to be sick, and the toys and other items really make a difference for the kids at St. V's.

Here's the best part... they make donating a toy ridiculously easy. You don't even have to leave the house, because the thoughtful staff has compiled its Intermountain Health St. Vincent Pediatric Wish List on Amazon. 

The St. V's Pediatric Toy Wish List is so convenient. It's perfect for those of us who have a tough time choosing gifts, and there are toys at various price points, starting at around $7 and topping out under $40.

Personal note: my family has a soft spot for the Pediatrics department at St. Vincent IH. My now 9-year-old was a NICU baby at St V's, born prematurely after suffering a massive stroke in utero. Her local medical team, in conjunction with the specialists at the University of Utah Children's Hospital, has been - and continues to be - nothing short of phenomenal.

We'll be purchasing at least one toy from the Pediatric Wish List this year, and if you feel moved to do so as well, thank you so much for your support.
