Christmas Angels of the Inland Northwest
HELLO! We are so glad you're here, and interested in our organization!
You've found us in the middle of FUNDRAISING SEASON!
In the past we have held an online auction in July, which has served as a very important fundraiser for our organization. However, due to a myriad of reasons we will not be able to have the online auction this year. Instead, we will be raffling off gift baskets! This is a fun, new way for us to give back to the community while raising money to provide for those in need during the holidays.
??? HOW CAN I WIN A BASKET ???
Buy tickets! They are one for $5, and five for $20.
We advertise our baskets both on this website, and on our Facebook page and in our Facebook group. You can buy tickets in person at various events we attend, and you can buy tickets via PayPal and Venmo (if you buy tickets using PayPal or Venmo it's important you specify that the donation is for basket raffle tickets, and include your phone number in the transaction note).
*** MARCH'S BASKET IS EASTER-THEMED ***
It includes two baskets. Photos and a description of the baskets are below. Remember you can purchase tickets electronically, just make sure you include a note with the online donation that you're purchasing raffle tickets, and include your phone number!

Who Are We? What Do We Do?
We are a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. Our mission is to provide hope, light, and happiness to families in need throughout the LC Valley region. We do this by providing assistance in the form of not just traditional clothes and toys for children, but also critical household needs to help provide comfort and relief for the entire family. We are working diligently to be a resource to families in need not only during the holiday season, but year-round.
In years past these needs have included new tires for family vehicles, new household appliances, utility assistance to prevent the loss of power and/or water service, paid school lunch debt, and more.​ When you donate to Christmas Angels you're not just donating to another local charity - you're giving back to families in our community who have experienced hardships during the year due to an array of unforeseen circumstances such as illness, injury, loss of employment, and other unexpected life events.
​
Who Do We Help?
Christmas Angels never discriminates who is eligible for our program based on race, ethnicity, color, sex, religion, age, national origin, ancestry, citizenship, sexual orientation, gender identity and/or expression, disability, marital status, genetic information, veteran status, or other factors that are protected by law. Our goal is to help people - our fellow community members. This includes ALL of our community members.
​
How Are We Funded?
​Our organization relies on many resources to make the assistance we provide possible. Our biggest source of funding comes from individual donations. We collaborate with local businesses to help provide desperately needed services and items. We participate in community events to help fundraise and spread the word about who we are. New to us is applying for grants focused on 501(c)(3) non-profits that focus on community enrichment.​​
