Where To Donate New, Handmade Blankets

Following hospital regulations, we are only able to accept brand new items. Fabrics and yarns used in making blankets must be from a smoke-free, mold-free environment (free from damp or cigarette exposure). Please do not donate used or hand-me-down items. Thank you!

Where do the blankets go once they are made?
To the Volunteer Office at Seattle Children's Hospital.
If you cannot get to the hospital in person, you are welcome to mail the blankets to the Volunteer Office, or leave a comment here, and we will help you coordinate pick-up or delivery. Here is the address for delivery:

Seattle Children's Hospital Volunteer Office
4800 Sand Point Way N.E.
Seattle, WA 98105

Please include the following information in your package:
*your name and address
*you are donating through Katie's Comforters Guild
*the number of blankets
*the $ value of your donation

The Volunteer Office is located on the ground floor of the Janet Sinegal Building, accessed by the Salmon (River C) Entrance. Detailed driving directions to the hospital, a map and parking information can be found HERE.

Turn from Sand Point Way into the driveway of Seattle Children's Hospital. Follow the signs to parking. Check in at the "welcome" desk, and tell the Greeters why you are visiting. They will direct you to the Volunteer Office, which is also on the left, just past the Greeters' Desk.

The volunteers will offer you a form to fill out (for your tax-deduction purposes), and will want to know the name of our Guild. You may leave the blankets there for distribution to the area of greatest need in the hospital.

Volunteer Office Hours:
Monday to Thursday: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m.
Friday: 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
Saturday: 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.
