Q: How many toys
are needed to fill a treasure chest?
A: The treasure chest is 3 1/2 ft long x 2 1/2 ft wide x 3 ft high. Large stuffed animals take up more space than coloring books and crayons. Therefore, an assortment of toys are needed.

Q: Can “gently
used” or used toys be donated?
A: All donated toys must be new. Exposing these patients to any outside germs or viruses could be very harmful, especially to the children undergoing chemotherapy.
