The amazing State Theatre fans have made our annual toy drive a growing success year after year.  We will be collecting toys again this year for the Children's National Medical Center downtown. So please bring a new, unwrapped gift with you.  A list of what can be accepted is below and if you're in a pinch for ideas, check out their wish list here.
Please make sure your donations:



  • NEW (toys, stuffed animals, blankets, or clothes) to meet the hospital’s infection control requirements.

  • Meet consumer product safety codes – a toy’s package will say if it meets the codes.

  • Include only non-toxic materials (toys or craft kits with glue or markers) – the package will say if it is.


We CANNOT accept:
