Family Resource Center Donation Policy
Donation Guidelines
Due to our infection control policy and to protect the privacy of our patients, we do not allow groups to personally distribute gifts to children. Donations are distributed by hospital staff. Donations must not be wrapped as presents.Donations delivered to the hospital should be marked “for the Family Resource Center” and they may be left at the Front Information Desk in the hospital’s main lobby. You will be asked to fill out a simple receipt and will receive a letter of acknowledgement from the Lucile Packard Foundation for Children's Health.
