Donation Form

Prior to delivering items, we ask that you complete a Gift-in-Kind form if your donation totals more than $250, and either email it to childlife@bswhealth.org or bring it with you when you deliver your donation.

This form helps us keep track of donations as well as thank you for your generosity. We ask for an estimation of the price for items donated. For donations over $1,000, we ask for a receipt to be provided with the donation.

Delivery and drop-off

To schedule a donation drop-off, please contact the Child Life Department at childlife@bswhealth.org or 254-935-4185.

Due to patient confidentiality and infection control, donated items are distributed by Baylor Scott and White McLane Children’s Medical Center staff. Unfortunately, individuals and groups are not able to distribute donated items to patients.

We typically do donations and drop-offs in the front lobby of McLane Children's Medical Center, across from the playground, at 1901 SW HK Dodgen Loop, Temple, TX 76502.
