Helping Hand Gift Cards

Helping Hand gift cards can be purchased like any other item. They can be purchased in predetermined amounts online, and in custom amounts at our retail location.

Helping Hand gift cards may only be redeemed at our retail location, listed above. Simply present the Helping Hand gift card to the cashiers at the register when you're ready to pay for your item(s).

No. All items are delivered free of charge to patient rooms and employee offices at Cedars-Sinai Medical Center.
The recipient must be present at the time of delivery, or the item(s) will be held for another delivery attempt the next day. Most items can be delivered to any patient's room or on-campus employee's office in the medical center. The 4th through 8th floors of the Saperstein Critical Care Tower (Intensive Care Unit) are not permitted to accept delivery of flowers, plants or balloons per hospital policy.
Call the Helping Hand Gift Shop at 310-423-5241, and our volunteers will help you get the correct room or office number. You'll need to provide the recipient's first and last name, and in the case of new mothers, you'll need to provide the mother's first name, maiden name and (if different) married name.
If your order wasn't delivered on the day you placed it, it may have been placed after our delivery hours, or because the recipient was not present when the delivery attempt was made. In that case, it will be delivered the next day.

If the patient is discharged before the order can be delivered, we will notify you. The full purchase price will be credited back to the credit card used to place the order.

Returns, Exchanges and Cancellations

 

All sales are final, with no exchanges or refunds.
You must call the Helping Hand Gift Shop at 310-423-5241 to make any adjustments to your order. Please have your order number available when you call. Our hours are Monday–Friday, 10 a.m.–4 p.m. Closed Weekends.

To ensure your order is changed or canceled, you must call the gift shop before the delivery period begins. For example, if you place an order on a Thursday at 6 p.m. Pacific Time (U.S.), you must call the Helping Hand Gift Shop before 10 a.m. Pacific Time (U.S.) on Friday, which is when deliveries would begin for that day.

If your order is scheduled for delivery today, you may be able to change or cancel your order as long as the order has not been delivered yet. Unfortunately, we can't guarantee a specific delivery time, so we can't guarantee that we'll be able to accommodate same-day order changes or cancellations.
