Local Outreach · With Greater Good Northwest

Gifts of Hope

A little Christmas magic. A whole lot of hope. Event days December 11-12, with the Elf Workshop December 8 and Set Up Day December 10 · Sun City Church, 10920 E Sprague Ave, Spokane Valley.

Why we gather

Christmas for local kids.

Gifts of Hope brings the hope and joy of Christmas to local children through a collaboration with Greater Good Northwest, local businesses, school districts, and a small army of volunteers. Families are referred through student counselors at participating schools, and we make sure every kid on the list has gifts under the tree.

Giving Tree businesses

Ready for your elf?

If your business hosted a Giving Tree, tell us where and when gifts can be collected. The team reviews every request and coordinates next steps with you.

For families

Need assistance this Christmas?

Families are referred through student counselors at participating schools, so your school counselor is the best first stop. If that isn't possible, email the team to ask about the waitlist. We'll do everything we can, though assistance isn't guaranteed.
