Holiday Gifts:

We receive an increase in inquiries around gifts for patients around the holidays. This year, new, packaged, unwrapped toys, books, games, gift cards, and other items (appropriate for all age groups) will be accepted from community donors and organizations from December 2nd – 20th at our Barnes-Jewish St. Peters office 9 am – 3 pm, M-F (6 Jungermann Circle, Suite 117, St. Peters, MO 63376). Organizations donating specifically to our Delivery/NICU department at Progress West may schedule a date to donate their item(s) that that facility by emailing the Foundation at [email protected].

Please note that due to infection prevention and patient confidentiality guidelines, delivering items directly to patients is not possible through either in person delivery or via the mail.
