Due to COVID-19, community visitors are on hold for now.

Thank you for thinking of children and families at the University of Maryland Children's Hospital. Please visit our donation page for approved contactless options for supporting children and families at UMCH.


Community organizations make a difference. Our families are touched by your kindness and generosity.

We are always in need toys, arts and crafts and other supplies to help our child life specialists entertain and comfort the children. Please see our wish lists.

And while visits are on hold, community service groups can help in many other ways. If you are interested in starting a community service project to benefit UM Children's Hospital, check out this list of ideas for service projects.

If you have questions or additional ideas, please contact the University of Maryland Children's Hospital Child Life Program at 410-328-7440.
