WVU Medicine Children's Community Toy Drive
Event Location: Morgantown Marriott at Waterfront Place, Two Waterfront Pl, Morgantown, WV

This year, WVU Medicine Children’s is holding a drop-off Community Toy Drive to make the donation process easier, minimize visitors at the hospital, and allow time to sort and quarantine items that will be given to patients and their siblings. Toys will be collected on Sunday, Dec. 6, from 10 a.m - 6 p.m. and Monday, Dec. 7, from 10 a.m - 6 p.m. at the Morgantown Marriott at Waterfront Place.
