Brooke’s Toy Closet

Brooke’s Toy Closet brings comfort and joy to children facing hospitalization by providing new toys they can keep and take home. Inspired by Brooke Mulford’s vision to support young patients during difficult times, the program operates at multiple TidalHealth locations to offer therapeutic play and emotional relief through play therapy, distraction, and connection.

Here are a few things to keep in mind when choosing a toy:

NO toy guns of any kind (no Nerf, etc.)
NO beauty products (perfume, nail polish, lotion, etc.)
All donations must be NEW. Please do not donate homemade crafts.
12”x 12” is a good guide to sizing as the larger items will not fit in the cabinet.
Jewelry must be in original packaging.
If a toy requires batteries, please provide them.
