A Gentle Branch of Support
This holiday season the Oneida Health Foundation invites you to be part of something truly heartwarming. Our Giving Tree is more than just a symbol of generosity; it’s a growing network of compassion, where every branch reaches out to lift someone in need.
Whether it’s food to nourish, toys to bring joy, clothing to warm, or essentials to support daily life, your gift helps our community thrive in both health and wealth. Together, we’re building a forest of hope — one act of kindness at a time.
Let’s branch out and support each other. Because when we give, we grow.

Ways To Give
Donate Toys
Stuff the Bus is a powerful way to spread holiday cheer! Every new, unwrapped toy donated helps brighten a child’s season. All toys collected go directly to our Giving Tree families and to charities across nine local counties, ensuring your generosity reaches those who need it most. Help us fill the bus and bring joy to our community! You can drop off new, unwrapped toys at the following locations:
- Hospital Cafe Entrance: Look for the designated drop-off bin just inside the main hospital Cafe area.
- Emergency Entrance Security Desk: Donations can be left in the Stuff the Bus box located at the security desk near the Emergency Entrance.
