CHaD Wish List

Monetary donations toward the Wish List

Cash donations to the CHaD wish list allow us the greatest flexibility to purchase toys throughout the year. We also use monetary gifts to purchase larger items that children use while at CHaD.

To make a financial contribution:

• Call (603) 650-8831, or
• Mail your check payable to CHaD/Wish List at:
  CHaD/DHMC Development Office
  One Medical Center Drive
  Lebanon, NH 03756

Toy drive and group donations

It helps to have a theme. Themes will help motivate and organize your drive. They can include anything from choosing an age group to buy for (it helps to pick an age the group can identify with) or choose a type of gift like DVDs, board games, "things that make me laugh," or "things that help me relax." See our Wish List below for suggestions.

CHaD Wish List
